We have a mm2 installation. A user is regular memeber on two lists:

Since the mails are in fact NOT identical (different Subject -- each
lists adds their own [foo] and [bar] prefix), I'd very much prefer a
new message-id for the distributed mails.

I'm sure I can hack something up in Postfix, but is there an easy way (tm)?

Change the message-id as they pass through Mailman and you break threading. Some people may get a direct copy of the message (instead of, or in addition to the copy from the list). That will then have a different Message-ID to what people who just gets the message from the list, and thus the Reference: and In-Reply-To: headers won't match.

Note, same Message-ID NEVER meant "Identical" messages, it meant from the same original message. Mail Transport Agents that just forward a message with only "Administrative" changes, should not change the Message-ID.
