The reason for your problems are that some MTA doesn't fold the
Received headers correctly. All messages which are broken seem to 
contain a Received header similar to the following one

Received: from mail-srv1.micron.com ([137.201.97.54]) by
ntexchange01.micron.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail 
Service
Version 5.5.2653.13)
        id NFXW62GR; Tue, 19 Jun 2001 14:40:26 -0600


Correctly folded the header would look like this

Received: from mail-srv1.micron.com ([137.201.97.54]) by
        ntexchange01.micron.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet
        Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13)
        id NFXW62GR; Tue, 19 Jun 2001 14:40:26 -0600

It seems the culprit is ntexchange01.micron.com.

Ingo
