It is always of course spammers that show up strange cases first..

Seems that there is some system that tries to allow for any kind of a bad message, and still send it.. but.. don't think this is a good implementation of a proxy..

Please, Microsoft fix that proxy to address the case where an existing Return-Path exists. If this is a proxy, then it isn't the final handler, so the Return-Path should not be set.

Now of course, the original Message-ID looks suspect, eg @com, but the MS system should NOT be replacing the Message-ID, with a newly created one, or should it? If MS believes that it is a malformed Message-ID, should it not be rejected? If is good enough to be accepted, then should it not be left alone?

I get it if there isnt' a message id set by the client, the MTA should add one, but what is the consensus when the Message-ID is bad <sic>.

Technically, RFC's appear to allow a 'host' to the right of the @ symbol, although it is recommended to be a domain..

"Note: As with addr-spec, a liberal syntax is given for the right-
      hand side of the "@" in a msg-id.  However, later in this section,
      the use of a domain for the right-hand side of the "@" is
      RECOMMENDED.  Again, the syntax of domain constructs is specified
      by and used in other protocols (e.g., [RFC1034], [RFC1035],
      [RFC1123], [RFC5321]). "

Anyways, it is a simple way MS can avoid relaying broken emails through it's proxies.. Should they allow these? Consensus?
