The Message-ID header should be set by the sending client or sending mail server. If a mail doesn't have a message id header it cancause sending loops or other issues. That's why the warning is logged. Is that mail coming from a regular mail server?

I get the same warning for all messages send through Microsoft O365/Exchange Online. The problem is most likely caused by splitting the Message-ID header over 2 lines. Here is an example:

Message-ID:
 <PR0P264MB0860AECEBAF1CDB17665C7E8A490A@PR0P264MB0860.FRAP264.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

Message-ID: is on one line and the next line starts with a space, followed by the message id.
