Yes, it is normal - a default. The reasoning was that an admin may
still be interested in these warnings and (after examining the quarantine)
hopefully be in position to eliminate some sources of such.

To turn off quarantining of messages with a bad header:
  $bad_header_quarantine_method = undef;

It is also possible to selectively turn off some of these tests, e.g:
  $allowed_header_tests{'8bit'} = 0;
  $allowed_header_tests{'missing'} = 0;
  $allowed_header_tests{'multiple'} = 0;

Search release notes for: %allowed_header_tests
