Hi there,   I can confirm this behavior. A few months ago I introduced a milter 
which is checking for multiple headers when the RFC says that there just should 
be one of them For example "Message-Id".   I found the described problem in an 
email coming from Alibaba, which had an invalid "Message-Id" header. It didn't 
contain an "@" sign or similar. It was RFC-invalid.   This email was sent from 
Alibaba to a German email provider. There was a redirect at that email 
provider, pointing to my mailserver.   My server rejected the email because 
there were 2 "Message-Id" headers: The original invalid "Message-Id" header 
from Alibaba, and a new "Message-Id" header from the German provider, which 
seems to have been added during the redirect. There were "Dovecot-sieve" 
headers in that mail, so my guess was that it happened because of 
Dovecot-sieve/pigeonhole implementation.   I contacted the email provider, 
asking for help. Asking if it really is a bug in pigeonhole (or maybe some 
other system at that provider, who knows). And I contacted Alibaba, so they fix 
the invalid "Message-Id". I got responses from both, but until now, as far as I 
can see, it has not been fixed.   The best fix would be (if it really is a bug 
in pigeonhole), if pigeonhole fixes the problem, then it's fixed for all users 
of Dovecot. I guess Alibaba is not the only sender with an invalid "Message-ID" 
header, but that's the only one I saw.   Michael

In my original post I said that gmail was rejecting the forwards because 
of duplicate headers, and that the duplicate header seems to be a 
Message-ID added by pigeonhole when it's "not happy" with the original 
mail Message-ID.

I probably failed to explain the issue clearly and sorry for that.

Thank you anyway for trying to help :)
