I think we all agreed on that. However: As i already pointed out, i believe that RFC 2821 does not require [...]
As Matt (I think it was) said earlier; we are all about using the grey areas in the RFCs and the twilight zone between the standards and how they are implemented to combat the enemy.

completely unrelated to the purpose of mail transport known as
SMTP which is the job of qpsmtpd.
Are you using qpsmtpd for receiving non-mail? If so, how and why? I'd be curious to know.
If you can explain that then I'll be happy to make sure we can make it work as well as possible for that too. But if not, then I suggest we keep just focusing on functionality related to RFC 2822 mail.
qmail-smtpd and qmail-remote will receive/send happily "messages" in totally weird formats, [...] (Of course later stages in the MTA which process the message and add Received-Lines etc. will have problems with non RFC2822 "messages", but this is not related to SMTP and can be solved by adding appropiate handling code)
1) qmail-smtpd adds a Received header. 2) We are not qmail-smtpd.
