  Yeah, it's the same here. I write the message-ID I want in my
  headers. Then I send my message with a small Python script.
  That script shows the messages from the news server verbatim:
 
|b'340 Ok, recommended ID <A>\r\n'
|b'240 Article posted <B>\r\n'
 
  , where <A> is the ID the server recommends and <B> is the
  message-ID from my header lines.

That sounds good.

What I want to avoid is a client using the "Ok, recommended ID", not
sending a MID, then relying on that recommended ID. My server creates a MID
for messages that do NOT contain a MID, after the message is received, but
before the connection is closed.

If you geneerate a MID at the client, that is what is used.
