Yeah, I agree that the current method isn't the best idea. My worry about
using pathhost is that some people use all sorts of odd things for their
path host and we could end up with message IDs that aren't fully
qualified, which would be bad.
Maybe tack domain onto the end of pathhost for message ID generation if it
doesn't contain a .? Would that work?
