There are no errors from a --lint.   What do you see in your headers?
For example, the message you sent  showed  this for me:

X-tma-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam (whitelisted),
        SpamAssassin (score=0.287, required 5.5, BAYES_00 -2.00,
        BIZ_TLD 2.29, SPF_HELO_PASS -0.00)

Note that there is no SPF_PASS.  If this is just me, then I am hopeful that I can work out a solution.
