I just checked. I added those 3 lines again and sent a mail to my
other mail
account. Result:

Message-Id: <83d4ljuakt.fsf <at> home.localdomain>

This is no vaild id. My machine is named home.
And even if there would be Message-Id:
<83d4ljuakt.fsf <at> googlemail.com>,
this would still not be vaild, because my machine has no
right to create a message Id like this.
This might result in duplicate M-ID, which is usually no problem.

But using Mailing lists, there is a tiny little chance this might be a
problem.

So this approach is just not clean, AFAIK.
No, the smtp-server creates my M-ID and I am pretty sure that google
knows
how to avoid duplicate ones ;).
