Yes. Fix postfix to bounce such crap back before it reach Cyrus, and send
that patch upstream for inclusion in postfix proper so that whomever is
earning tons of $$$ selling broken software has to fix the bug.

Or, if you are feeling like doing some charity work, teach postfix to kill
illegal message-id headers and add a valid one (it already adds one if there
is none).
