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. When Resent- header lines are present, this applies to the Resent-
    lines rather than the non-Resent- lines.

How about

control = submission/sender_retain

to change only the absolute minimum?
