Hi Patrick,

always_add_missing_headers (default: no)

    Always add (Resent-) From:, To:, Date: or Message-ID: headers when
not present. Postfix 2.6 and later add these headers only when clients
match the local_header_rewrite_clients parameter setting. Earlier
Postfix versions always add these headers; this may break DKIM
signatures that cover non-existent headers.

are you sure that your example is safe with i.e dkim ?
