That seems like desirable behavior, no? :-)
Kidding aside, these spams were probably blocked by the rhsbl and
the dnsbl plugins.

The spamassassin plugin doesn't reject mail; it only adds the
header. Someone was making a plugin to reject mails with a score
higher than X; but I'm not sure he finished it.

These mails were probably being denied (with a temporary error) by
the require_resolvable_fromhost plugin. You can disable that plugin
(as well as the rhsbl and the dnsbl plugin) in the plugins config
file.

Don't tell those of us running production sites with it. ;-)
Indeed this mailinglist goes through a "qpsmtpd powered" server.

That was fixed in 0.11.
Thanks for the comments! :-)
