   All but one of the "Received" lines are above the two blank lines, as
though it is a fairly local relay, perhaps the other end of the first hop.
   I have compared it with another email received from the same sender,
which appears to have a dynamic address, but which does not have blank lines
in the header and the following hop is "Received" from a spam filter which
has the same IP address in both cases.
