qmail has only one author, D. J. Bernstein, and all his software is
extremely standards conscious.  In fact, this explains why qmail
doesn't add a missing Date header for messages coming in via SMTP.
qmail didn't create the message, Mailman did, and therefore it's
Mailman's job as originator to add a Date line.

Other MTAs which add missing required headers are essentially just
covering for non-compliant programs.  djb isn't that kind I guess
<wink>.
