True. I spent a long time rejecting all messages without a Message-Id. I
eventually gave up on it, after a number of "false positives" that were
annoying my users.
Even rejecting for having no Date: header gives "false positives".
NatWest are completely incompetent and send statements with no Date
header, and fail to understand the complaint when I report it to them.
