Somehow those headers got 'bent', so putting them 'back together' might
be a problem, but I'll guess.

Altho' I'm not familiar with where you would be receiving this item, I
think this is the sourceline, and that IP is listed in multiple db/s,
including scbl as well as proxy/insecure db/s.  So my chain would end
there.

Headers are not supposed to contain empty lines, so clearly something
got broken.

Down here in the broken part of the header appears to be a bogus line
with a bad timestamp.
