What's the point of your question? You show a set of message headers of 
a mail purportedly from you to you, which might or might not be spam. 
MailScanner never looks at any "X-Original-To" header. Mind you, it 
doesn't look at the "To" header either :-) (it uses the envelope 
recipients, ie. the real ones, not whatever someone chose to put in the 
headers).
