Good!  Posting a tracker is enormously important/ essential/ for these
issues.

Received: from acconci1 by 1n5-199.servernode.net

That is the first part of the top line from the tracker.  That line is
totally unacceptable/ noncompliant/ from the perspective of reporting
spam.  There is nothing you can do, such as removing SA lines, which
will restore those headers to a proper condition for reporting spam.

That line's 'from' field is supposed to contain the IP address of the
source from which the servernode received the item.  If it doesn't,
there *must* be some other compliant line stamped properly to
'represent' what is missing there.

This second line can take the place of the first line;  it is a
compliant line.
