The String before the "@" must only be unique for mails send from your
PC, because the part after the "@" is only used by your PC. This part
must be a valid Domain you own.
The Bat use the Domain Part of the account Email address, that is in
most cases wrong, because normally the user don't own the Domain of
the email address.
IMHO the only options to make an valid RFC MSID is to make the Part
after the "@" user configurable (for people they have his own Domain)
or make an option to _not_ generate an MSID, so the Mailserver can
make this.
cu,
Dirk
