Well then, how about making it an option?

That is, have a checkbox to select <time.number.use...@domain> as the
Message-ID, where <use...@domain> is the account email address. The
current option doesn't actually allow this, because it omits the userid
part of the email address.

It seems to me that this is a superior choice in every respect. It
certainly has no disadvantages relative to using the local domain name,
which, as I already pointed out, potentially creates a security threat
because it exposes information about private networks.
