 Well, an example would be useful. I never had any problems with headers
 from this list.

 This sounds like you should switch to a different mail system ...
 I don't even want to know what fragile mail software you're using.

 As far as smtp is concerned, email headers are part of the message DATA.
 Other than adding Received:, Message-Id: or custom X-*** headers, or
 canonical address rewriting, mail transport software doesn't need to
 care about headers.
