Well, that's what it sort of looks like to me too, except that there *is* a SA
header in the message if you read down through the headers.  But the rejection
does look like it's MTA-based, not SA-based.  In any case, I would suggest you
upgrade your SA installation to 2.20, or at the very least 2.11 -- the scores in
2.1 were pretty hairy.  2.20 should fix a lot of false-positive problems.
