The Message-ID is normally (although not always) generated by the e-mail
client. What e-mail software are you using? It will normally be set
according to the machine's hostname, though some e-mail software lets you
define a domain to be used in the Message-ID.
If a message has no Message-ID and Exim adds the Message-ID itself, it's
normally of the form <something>@primary_hostname (where primary_hostname
is the primary hostname of the machine running Exim, of course). That is,
unless you've set the message_id_header_domain option.
