1. the message received by amavisd had two or more instances of a
   Message-ID header field, and this is in violation with RFC 2822;
   Whether this is a cause for a bounce/rejection/notification is
   a matter of policy. If it was one of your own domain's MUAs which
   produced such mail it should be fixed or replaced.

2. amavisd was configured to reject or bounce a message with a
   bad header. This is not a default setting, and there is usually
   no good reason to reject such messages. If a message is coming
   from inside, consider sending the sender a notification.
   I'd suggest to keep $final_bad_header_destiny at a default
   setting of D_PASS.
