So if a process handed qmail-smtpd a message without a Date: header,
and it sends the message on to some remote smtpd without adding the
Date: header, is that legal? I guess you'd say because Qmail wasn't
the originator of the message, it would be, but the remote smtpd would
be within its rights to reject it.
Or am I being dense?
