Which is why rejection on that basis is inadvisable, IMO.

As it happens I'm currently trying to concoct a recipe for rewriting Message
IDs - not to make them more FQDN-ish, but to make them less
spammer-harvestable. Thunderbird (and other MUAs too for all I know)
generates Message IDs that end in "@<domain of your email address>", which
spammers like to then treat as email addresses.
