note that with milter, current Received: header is NOT the one produced by 
MTA but by spamass-milter. The milter protocol provides message exactly as it came 
without local additions like Received: header.

This also means that Received: header spamd sees as mail is being received 
is diferent than the one you see later.

looking at logs I've had similar problem years ago:

https://marc.info/?l=spamassassin-users&m=139282758624769&w=2
without success:
https://marc.info/?l=spamassassin-users&m=139410750008972&w=2


and IIRC the working solution was to avoid sending 'b' macro at all, so 
spamass-milter generates its own.
