The SPF verification is done via the "received" line.  I can see that
you have no information at all following "from".  That is why it could
not determine an SPF policy.  At the very least, your server should fill
in "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" or something.  Otherwise there is no way
to check your DNS servers for a policy for that sender or even to
whitelist it.  At the point Spamitarium is run, it cannot know that this
was a locally delivered email other than with that header.
