Thanks for the explanation.  I wouldn't like to comment on the message-id 
proposal as I haven't had much experience using greylisting yet.  Or maybe 
I will.  The example came from gmail which uses lots of ip addresses.  If 
one put in the message-id, gmail's cycle through many ip numbers would 
have to be done for each email.  Would that be a good thing?
