OK, I cooked up this:

acl_not_smtp = acl_log_message_id
begin acl
acl_log_message_id:
warn log_message = Generated message id: $message_id
accept

And mainlog says:

2008-08-22 15:53:12 1KWX4i-0002NF-0C U=wferi Warning: Generated message id: 1KWX4i-0002NF-0C
2008-08-22 15:53:12 1KWX4i-0002NF-0C <= wferi@mydomain U=wferi P=local S=341

Which makes me feel stupid. Apparently each log line is prefixed with
the message id, sort of. Because in the received mail I find:

Message-Id: <E1KWX4i-0002NF-0C@mydomain>

Where does the E prefix come from?
