It's not a header. It's the triggering bounce notice which is another
e-mail message attached to the one above.

The copy of the original message is attached to or included in the
"triggering bounce notice". Somewhere between the first material you
quote and the copy of the original message, there should be the reply
from your outgoing MTA or the recipient's MTA indicating why the post
wasn't delivered. That's the information that will help diagnose the
problem.
