I don't think either are. The payment processor should be sending it, but, at least according to the RFC, it is incorrect to reject an email that doesn't have it. I suspect the reason it is SHOULD, and not MUST is for backwards compatibility with software that predates the RFC that adds the message-id header.

Maybe there is a correlation between missing that header and being spam, but then it should go to the spam folder, not be outright rejected.

The experience with support is also similar to experiences I've had with support at many companies. I provide enough details that an engineer could probably easily fix the problem, but the support representative just dismisses it, and it is doubtful an engineer even hears about it.
