Still, you've got to laugh...

It is supposed to check, though:

   (message-check 'shoot
     (if (re-search-forward
	  "Message-ID.*.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me" nil t)
	 (y-or-n-p "You appear to have a misconfigured system.  Really post? ")
       t))

So, I wonder why that is failing. Even if the message were less
whimsical, the fallback is supposed to have been captured.
