Sad.

A couple of things you can do:

- disable quarantining of mail with bad headers:
    $bad_header_quarantine_to = undef;
  or:
    $bad_header_quarantine_method = undef;

- allow mail with a bad header to be delivered
  (which is a default anyway):
    $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS;

- disable header checks entirely or by-recipient:
    @bypass_header_checks_maps = ( 1 );

- select (enable/disable) individual header checks:
    $allowed_header_tests{'mime'} = 0;
