Some background of the ip address of the client in the message-id:

Not long ago (october 2003) we used the ip address of the server where
squirrelmail was located as message-id. SA complained that the client
didn't generate a message-id and that the message-id was inserted by the
smtp-server (which was not the case). To avoid the false assumption I
changed to the client ip address instead of the server's ip address.
