This doesn't seem to deliberately be an off-list reply to sender,
bouncing back to the list.

Probably, yes. Though properly anchoring your RE is a good habit. In
particular with public advice, serving as an example for others, copying
the rule and merely adjusting the domain part.
And in this particular case, 'mailengine' is sufficiently generic -- an
SMTP farm of mailengine\d+\.company\.com isn't that hard to imagine...

The difference between a score of 10 and blocking is *immense*. The
score is irrelevant. It's precisely the difference between scoring and
blocking.
I'm getting tired of terms like "blocking", when discussing SA. And it
is much worse, if those answering questions, trying to help, are mixing
up such fundamental concepts. Regulars on this list probably just shrug
it off, mentally deducting a reputation point. Those not intimately
familiar with SA, though, are likely to get confused.
By furthering this top misconception, you're doing the project and new
users a disservice.
