 Like I said, I don't see what's so clever about it... you'd have to be pretty
stupid if you accept any ol' header from any source; AND you have to set aside
the advice in the manuals and come up with your own solution that allow it.

 On the "clientside" there's an intentionally broken spamcatcher, and on the
spammerside there's a clear sign of intent to force the message upon people; if
you're asking me the spammer is just doing his best to hurt himself.
