From the ChangeLog for Exim 4.30:
56. Exim used to add From:, Date:, and Message-Id: header lines to
any incoming messages that did not have them. Now it does so only
if the message originates locally, that is, if there is no
associated remote host address.

Locally generated would be injected into exim on the command line which is
not SMTP...
Example:
# exim -f kreed@??? -t <<EOM

I don't know the history of why the change.. just that it changed.
