manager had put it there, but it would be nicer to have had some proof.

At a guess, I'd say that the list manager did not put that header there.

As a matter of interest, could you say why?

AFAICS, this spam actually came from a sleeping member of this list who  
was trying to drum up friends on Facebook, and inadvertently sent it to  
everyone in his address book, including this list (observe the 'whitelist'  
remarks in the X-Greylist header). Indeed, he subsequently apologised on  
this list for his error, and the headers on his apology are exactly  
analagous to those on the spam.

Moreover, if this A-R header HAD been present in the original, it SHOULD  
have been removed by the list manager, according to RFC 5451.
