As an outsider, I have no way of knowing what your mailhost looks like,
but that item contains a deficient 'by' field in the top line:

Received: from -1209941560 ([201.230.4.187])  by   (Lotus Domino Release
6.5.5) with SMTP id 2006022010310413-10 ;  Mon, 20 Feb 2006 10:31:04
+1100

Normally the 'by' field before the (Lotus ....) contains the server's
name.

If SC is expecting that line's 'by' to look like your mailhost/s, the
parser won't go past that line.

Actually mailhosts' configuration are based on the server/s receiving
the mail, not exactly the receiving address -- altho' there's a
correspondence between some address's domainname and its receiving
servers.

A non-mailhosted account of course will stop at that first line and name
the IP in the 'from' field and offer to report
