Probably because they match expressions in your undisclosed [!!] file
of header_checks(5).

The black magic is either regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(5), as
determined by your undisclosed [!!] "postconf -n". postmap(1) is the
ideal tool for debugging all kinds of Postfix lookups. See "-q".

The real problem is that you're trying to use the wrong tool. :)
header_checks(5) is rarely the right approach, but it's often a first
choice for people who:
1. don't understand regular expressions
2. don't understand email
Now, what was the undisclosed [!!] reason you thought you wanted to
reject these headers?
See the [!!] for items you might need to provide.
