There are a few things going on. Did you upgrade from 2.1.6 or from
pre-2.1.6? Starting in 2.1.6, header_filter_rules are applied to the
headers of sub-parts which might cause a problem if the admin
notification contains something that matches, BUT there is a safety
valve in that the SpamDetect process is never supposed to be applied
to internally generated messages such as admin notifications.

So something is going wrong here, but I don't know what. I will
investigate, but if you could send me off list what your
header_filter_rules are and a copy of the original problem message, it
may help me.
