It seems that the test message is created by a complete different part of
Outlook than normal messages. The test message does not contain X-Mailer.

Yes. I believe that normal messages from Outlook always contain a Date:
header.
However i came to the conclusion that the Date:-Headerchecking from
check_basicheaders is unreliable because there are other legitimate
clients as well who lack the Date: header. Its against the standard,
but its real life.
I suggest making check_basicheaders more flexible by allowing to
turn the checks (From: and Date: for now) on and off independent
of each other.
