Permissible?  Yes.  See RFC 2822.  In practice, it is a frequent

Personally, I cull out lists and bulk mail I've subscribed to,
and whitelists, then have in my spamtest arsenal a test for
the perp's having used my upstream provider in the Message-ID.
It's a very nice test.

Thank you. That was exactly what I was thinking about. From the email
that I had examined, it seemed that it would be a nice test. But
considering my limited experience with email headers, I wanted to
make sure.
Just as an example, the message-id on this message will have lerlaptop.iadfw.net as the right side of the at-sign, but a from of @lerctr.org, as I am on my laptop at work
but authenticating to my OWN server at home.
