from our side we're pretty sure that there are NO malformed headers in
our customers messages to gmx recipients. As we use well-known software
like postfix. Time of servers is sync to ntp too. It started all over
sudden yesterday evening at about 16:45 CET. Several of our outbound
service ips affected. We do not have bigger mailflow to gmx compared to
the past. Sound to me that a new feature has been implemented that need
some fine tuning by a big hammer ;-)

think sender is only mandatory if multiple From header senders are
present. If there is only one From header sender then the Sender header
is **not** mandatory. See RFC5322 Section 3.6.2

> If the originator of the message can be indicated by a single mailbox
and the author and transmitter are identical, the "Sender:" field SHOULD
NOT be used

Also take note of the note in RFC regarding the absence of Sender header
(same section)

p.s. we have a lot of very disappointed customers which (at least quite
a bunch of them) are as well gmx users
