Hi Duncan,
Thank you for that excellent and patient explanation!

This is the crux of the matter, and it makes sense in light of the 
observations. I'm not sure why this only happens with aioe (since I 
also get flaky connections, at times, (from, for example, 
reader.news4all.se), but, it does fit the model of what appears
to be happening.

Basically, Pan isn't getting the response it wants; so it keeps 
sending the message, and aioe eventually gets three duplicate 
messages, which, it (erringly) creates a message ID for each, and
post them. 

Then, if that happens enough (as per Aioe's algorithm), they ban
my IP address for a week or two, awaiting my fix of the problem.

Luckily, forcing Pan to create a Message ID with a date and time
and a legitimate FQDN (of domain.is.invalid), solves the problem
because now, both Pan and the server know there is only one 
message involved. 

At least that's what I think you said! :)
