sorry, I meant both of them ! you are obviously going to get the

No, it's true only if _any_ message was sent by paypal.com with that
Message-ID.  Copying a Message-ID isn't difficult, nor is getting
legitimate mail from paypal.


So, you put the message-id AND recipient in the source's database

If evil spammer/phisher gets Paypal to send him a message, then reuses that message-id in their own messages out, it would work with the original idea, but if you add the recipient to the data, you defeat that.
