In the same way, sometimes the best way to "derive the submitter
from the 2822-headers" is to assign it.

Isn't it a violation of the current protocol:

   If the receiving SMTP server allows the connecting SMTP client to
   transmit message data, then the server SHOULD determine the purported
   responsible address of the message by examining the RFC 2822 message
   headers as described in [SENDER-ID]. If this purported responsible
   address does not match the address appearing in the SUBMITTER
   parameter, the receiving SMTP server SHOULD reject the message and
   when rejecting MUST use "550 5.7.1 Submitter does not match header."
