We'll have to disagree on this, because given non-conformant
(with RFC5322 Section 2.1.1) input we're free to do whatever
is reasonably pragmatic and yields a conformant message for
delivery to the next hop. Perhaps not surprisingly, users
preferred delivery over bounces.

If a message does not conform to RFC5322, its signature can't be
expected to validate.
