The CHANGELOG of Exim 4.30 says
-----> cut here >-----
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. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the
Resent-lines rather than the non-Resent-lines.
-----< cut here <-----
Some days ago I upgraded from Exim 4.12 to 4.32. Since that time mails
sent from a local cron job, which does _not_ add a "Date:" header line,
are deliverd by Exim 4.32 without adding a date header.
Header with Exim 4.12:

-----< cut here <-----
According to the CHANGELOG statement above I would have expected the
same behaviour as before (date and message id added). I'm a bit confused.
How does Exim decide whether a message originates locally or remote?
