No but here is what the headers look like:
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 (2005-09-13) on
domain.com
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.4 required=5.2 tests=BAYES_00=-2.599,
DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL=0.231,HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,SPF_HELO_PASS=-0.001,
SPF_PASS=-0.001 autolearn=no version=3.1.0

etc....etc....etc.....
Something in your mail flow is broken. You've got what appears to be an
mbox line:
>>From mailnull Thu Oct 20 23:42:08 2005
right in the middle of your headers. It looks like whatever is calling
SpamAssassin is prepending to an mbox entry. Weird. No wonder you've
got problems. SpamAssassin will insert its headers after a Return-Path
header found on THE FIRST LINE of the message, otherwise it will just
prepend to the top, assuming that the mail server has yet to add a
Return-Path header of its own. Loose the mbox line and you'll be set.
I looked at my older messages and they all start with the Return-Path header. Based on RFC 822, the X-Headers are supposed to be
after the crucial info.
Even though the 23 year old RFC you cite has been obsoleted by RFC 2822,
I'll quote it:
4.1. SYNTAX
Note: Due to an artifact of the notational conventions, the syn-
tax indicates that, when present, some fields, must be in
a particular order. Header fields are NOT required to
occur in any particular order, except that the message
body must occur AFTER the headers. It is recommended
that, if present, headers be sent in the order "Return-
Path", "Received", "Date", "From", "Subject", "Sender",
"To", "cc", etc.
That doesn't say they're supposed to be after the "crucial info". It
may recommend it, but it's certainly not required. Doing so would break
DomainKeys compatibility. Of course DomainKeys wasn't around 23 years
ago, but neither was your Blackberry. Things change.
