You found the wrong DOMAIN configuration. Unfortunately Microsoft made
some confusion when decided to use the "DOMAIN" word to define both the
dns domain and windows domain. They are 2 different things.

What windows release are you using?
I'm sure that if you search it better you can find the configuration
I've described previously.

The RFC does not require that the Message-ID domain equals the From domain.

Furthermore I never heard before of the SA rule described in that page.
That page is about a problem of OE6 that does not rewrite the Message-ID
when the from change. The missed rfc compliance is about that when the
message is modified then the message-id should be changed.

Maybe someone else have a different idea on this and I would like to
read more about this issue, but I still think this is not a James bug.

If you want to manually change James then I suggest you to look at the
class MimeMessageWrapper and to look at javamail 1.4 sources to
understand what to do to customize the MessageId.
