Blat creates a Message-ID header where the server’s name, as given by the user, is placed after the @ symbol.  If the user specifies their SMTP server is called mailrelay, that is what Blat will use in the Message-ID header.  The rest of the information is based on the current date and time, Blat’s version, and the Process ID value from Windows.  One other piece of data in the header is either a pseudo random value, or the CPU’s Time Stamp Counter value.
This format was chosen to provide some accountability and to identify the Blat version, for spam filters.
I can entertain the idea of user provided data in the Message-ID header, but the argument must make sense and be such that it will not lead to spammers using it for other purposes.
