I send a similar email once or twice a week, normally, don't have any
issues, today, got a "Delivery status notification, invalid header
section: missing required header field" from my own server/amavisd:

so, in the amavisd warning message, 'from' is blank, in header in sent
folder, from is 'normal', has my name/email

was it just a 'glitch' ?
or what went wrong ? have I screwed up my amavisd setup ?

I've been using K9 mail client for ages, never struck such issue

  The RFC 5322 document specifies rules for forming internet messages.
  Section '3.6. Field Definitions' specifies that certain header fields
  are required (origination date field and the "From:" originator field). "
