Thanks for the positive feedback. I'll try to do the diff against top of tree 
and the unit test soon-ish.

Use case: 
 * In my specific case, I'm writing a sort of cross between mailing list and 
blog system and I'd like to use a static (across all installations) domain for 
internally generated messages.
 * kmail offers the choice of custom domain for message-id as well, I've set it 
to my own domain for ages.  It turns out that message-ids are harvested by 
spammers and so I've got a quite good way to build spamtraps since "nobody" 
will ever try to send real email to these "adresses". (Or, in the reverse case: 
if your host's fqdn is a valid email domain you may actually not want to cause 
this kind of load to your MX.)

(Not sure if this should be added to the documentation, though.  The 
explanation seems much too long in comparision with the complexity of the 
feature.)
