This message had, as far as I can tell, a valid From: header and it passed
through Spamassassin via Amavisd directly from Postfix.  Nonetheless, it has a
MISSING_FROM tag.

Very strange. That (not surprisingly) does not hit MISSING_FROM in my test environment.

If you add some trivial body to it just to keep the structure correct (or, better, grab the entire original message) and test it from the command line, does it hit MISSING_FROM again?

Is this only happening to messages sent via SquirrelMail? Is it *consistently* happening to messages sent via SquirrelMail?

How is SA glued into your mail system? I see Amavis headers.

Check your Amavis config. You might also ask this question on the Amavis Users list...

The only things I can think of are wild-ass guesses like mixed line endings in the headers breaking parsing, or headers being removed by Amavis or whatever passes the message in to Amavis, and then being put back in after scanning, and those all seem highly implausible.
