You could do it in a system filter, perhaps. But it would definitely be
nicer if we could do it in the ACL. I'm not changing anything in the
wild this week but when I'm paying attention again I'll probably do
something like this:

  warn  hosts = +relay_hosts
    condition = ${if !def:h_Message-ID: {1}}
    message = Message-ID: <E$message_id@$primary_hostname>
  warn  hosts = +relay_hosts
    condition = ${if !def:h_Date: {1}}
    message = Date: $tod_full
  warn  hosts = +relay_hosts
    condition = ${if !def:h_Sender: {1}}
    !recipients = :
    verify = sender/callout,random
    message = Sender: $sender_address
  deny  !condition = ${if match {$h_date:}{\N^\s*(?:(?:Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun), )?[0-3 ]?[0-9] (?:Jan|Feb|Ma[ry]|Apr|Ju[nl]|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) (?:[12][901])?[0-9]{2} [0-2][0-9](?:\:[0-5][0-9]){1,2} (?:[+-][0-9]{4}|UT|[A-Z]{2,3}T)(?:\s+\(.*\))?\s*$\N} {1}}
    message = "Date header invalid"

The MSA MUST ensure that any address it places in a 'Sender' field is
in fact a valid mail address.

Just do sender verification with callouts. Unless you're running an
Internet café with different users using your outgoing mail host every
day, you'll tend to have a high rate of cache hits, and the failure mode
is that we just don't add a Sender header.

The MSA MAY add a 'Date' field to the submitted message, if it lacks
it, or correct the 'Date' field if it does not conform to [MESSAGE-
FORMAT] syntax.

The regex is easily cut and pasted from SpamAssassin, although I haven't
checked it.
