Interesting.  Can't remember where I picked that bit of advice up, but
it sounds nasty.  I assume all mail servers will add in the missing
message ID and Imail is not unique in this regard (MS' SMTP service, for
example)?

Not as far as Declude is concerned.  Without that patch CFMAIL-generated
mail will fail the SPAMHEADERS test.  Maybe AOL demerits it for the same
reason.

Out of curiosity, how would a self-generated unique message ID be
detectable? Is that a specifically-defined sort of format?

Whoa,  there!  That's  breaking  the  RFC.  The  Message-ID  should be
generated  by  the  MTA,  not  by  the  MUA.  In  fact,  a preexisting
Message-ID is a bad header flag for some anti-spam applications.

No problem of that sort here, but if your message has a From: address,
it's perfectly complete. The lack of a Reply-To: is not going to cause
delivery problems.
