This looks like another "reserved IP" issue, as discussed in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/62078

If you look at the original received header, it shows an IP address of
71.8.202.198, which spamassassin sees as a reserved, and thus trusted, IP.
The above-referenced thread includes a fix for this issue.
