Looking at the headers, I notice subtle differences.
The biggest difference is that the second hop ("Received:" header) is
different between the two. Here is the relevant header from the first
message (the one that gets rejected), wrapped for clarity:

It was received by "zuken.COM", by what looks like a Sendmail of some
sort. Now here is the second-hop header from the second message (the one
that is accepted):

This one was received by "postal", which does not identify itself as any
particular MTA -- I assume that is the Courier system? What system calls
itself "zuken.COM", and why did "estzuken" route the mail there for one
message, and not the other?
There are other differences. Look at the "From:" headers for the
messages (same ordering):
> From: Amanda Backup User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...vs...
> From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Perhaps Amanda is generating the two messages using different methods?
I also notice the first message has *this* added to it:
> X-PCBDesignLeader: http://www.zuken.com
It looks like someone programmed "estzuken" to route via a central smart
host, and someone got cute with the header rewriting rules on said host. I
wonder if they screwed something else up in the process?
(I also notice the first message has some "Evolution" junk, which I am
assuming is an MUA addition, and not related to your mail problem.)

Yes, but suppose there is a mis-placed NUL or other control character
buried in the output somewhere? You may not see it, but the computer will.
Use "od" or a similar tool (on the direct output from Amanda, if at all
possible) to be sure.
