Unfortunately, medical science has determined that the type of brain
damage that leads to rejection of mail based on no message-id is
often associated with symptoms of rejecting null envelope senders,
i.e. bounces. These patients often claim that "the voices" have
told them that both of these items are spam markers.
Treatment is available, and we're all hoping for a cure.

Can't you get this sysadmin to relax the rule for bounce messages? It's not
like messages with <> as the sender are hard to spot, especially as he's going
to the trouble of finding a Message-Id.
