If you are using procmail, you can write a rule
that selects e-mail from the particular domain you
want to come through clean and pipe it through
formail with the switch that removes a specified
header. (I have such a procmail recipe that
removes ReplyRequested headers before letting the
message go on to the list I run.)

If you're not using procmail, life would be easier
if you were.  However, it is not terribly
difficult to write a perl filter script that
copies a file leaving out all the lines that match
some pattern.

Something like:

while (<STDIN>)
{
  $line = $_;
  if ($line =~ /text I do not like/)
  {
    # forget this line
  }
  else
  {
    print $line;
  }
}

put that in a file and then use whatever system
you use to pipe the messages through SpamAssassin
to pipe some of them through this fixup script
after they go through SpamAssassin.

hmmmm, that script above is just
   "grep -v 'text I do not like'"

formail is better, because formail understands
e-mail (RFC822) and will just remove headers and
not something else (if that's what you tell it to
do).

Of course, using procmail, write a recipe that
delivers this particular e-mail without feeding it
to SpamAssassin.
