Hi,
i have spam emails with a Received line like this:
Received: by 9-30-239-23.uocdn.net (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 693A0C56B with (unknown [158.69.130.12]) ; Sun, 20 Nov 2016 21:06:55 -0300 there is no parsing perl code for lines like this in Received.pm module so the relay 158.69.130.12 is never checked
is this normal? 

Yes. Why would anyone want SA to attempt to parse an intentionally deceptive Received header?

Unadulterated Postfix does not now generate (and never has generated) Received headers like that. The queue id is too short and the header would start with 'from' not 'by' if it was actually Postfix generating it as claimed. That looks like some moron spammer tried to weld together the 2-part mutant qmail Received format and label it as Postfix for obfuscation. I don't know why some spammers do this sort of lame Received fakery, since it fingerprints their mail as spam, but it has been a fairly common practice for a long time.
