I give them the answer their systems gave me with "250 Ok" logged with C=....,
the envelope addresses used and the exact timestamp when their host took
responsibility.

According to RFCs there is no guarantee that a message-id exists. And there is
at least one common MUA known for ab^H^Hreusing message-ids under certain
conditions. Not talking about broken syntax of message-ids.

If the envelope got split on your host while delivering to multiple recipients
you end up with several messages having the same message-id as well.
