Hello,
That is what message_id_header_text does, too (although it accepts
more characters). And changing it to deferral is probably to involved
for me - I am not familiar enough with exim's code and actually don't
plan to become it.

I've used it for some time with exim3, as a nice side effect you can
use it to generate M-IDs whose domain-part is no valid domain-part for
e-mails. - You won't get any spam sent to message-ids in your
catchall-mailbox.
