So, your user agent and your ISP are incompatible in this regard.

Sure you do.  You could switch to another user agent.  You could switch
to another ISP.  You could arrange with a third party to inject your
mail through a mailserver that is willing to accept user submissions
with no ID and add one of its own.  You could maybe run a local proxy
that adds IDs.  You might even be able to convince your ISP to switch
to a mailer that's willing to add IDs to user sumbissions that come in
without any.  There are probably others I haven't thought of.

Or, of course, you could do none of the above and just live with
continuing to violate that SHOULD and the concomitant failures.
