RFC 5322 3.6. (and AFAIK *all* its predecessors) marks the Date: header
as mandatory. sendmail used to forcibly add one if missing, I'm not sure
about other MTAs (and MSAs). I'ld recommend to try fixing the problem as
early and globally as possible, rather than on the last yard into *one
specific* mailbox.
