OK, all you mail gurus; here's today's challenge.
 
Here's an email header that has me puzzled.  It is a piece of spam "returned" to a customer of ours([EMAIL PROTECTED]), as their email address is fraudulently being used as the reply to address.
 
Here is the original email header, as the entire email was returned by the destination mail server (I have also pasted their header  below the spam header).  The private ip addresses are what puzzles me.  I don't think I've ever seen this before.  Even SpamCop choked on this header:
