I do not like to do it unconditionally on each mail in transit. because
this header might be there on purpose. Yes, I can combine it with other
ACL conditions to restrict it to submissing hosts etc.
I only want to easy the configuration for the "assumed to be normal
situation" when operating in submission mode. As in this mode Exim modifies
the message in a way it otherwise wouln't be authorized to do. (IMHO)
