BTW:
reformat headers is dangerous these days, a message should be 
re-constrcuted 100% binary identical and only add own headers but never 
touch existing ones

the are part of DKIM and if you have a external forwarder
where dbmail injects the message to sendmail changes in the headers will 
break signatures, see recent threads in context of DMARC/Yahoo
