Yikes - that's not true. We only rarely ever examine the received headers in submitted spam - and then only when we're verifying some other hunch we're following. We almost exclusively focus on the body of the message content and it's coding. Rarely, but none the less it happens, we will pick up a domain that is spoofed in submitted spam or otherwise entangled in the message. Submitted spam is never processed automatically - so when this does happen it is always human error - and we are very careful with our procedures to make sure it doesn't happen. Occasionally one slips through and if that happens the rule is moved to a special rule group so that it can never happen again. Hope this clears things up a bit.
