You do have a point there, and that's a long standing issue with
Postfix.
But Postfix cannot know if it's an initial submission or if Postfix is
performing relay duties.

On a setup like here, where hauptpostamt.charite.de is just a relay,
we might as well turn the message-id generation off. Unfortunately, we
need to keep the function append_at_myorigin, or all our virtual
aliasing will break. I could fix that, but that would be a lot of work.
