Quite, this is how/why NNTP uses Message-IDs are unique indexing qualifiers.
Problem is that client-assigned message-ids are not guaranteed unique. Too many people are using RFC 1918 private addressing space, and if the machine doesn't know it's own name, then it stuffs in just the IP address for that portion. Everything else could quite feasibly collide, and you'd wind up with multiple non-unique message-ids.
You need a guaranteed unique id to be used as a primary index field.
