Messages in Exchange have virtually all headres munged or deleted.
They are useless for debugging since they don't resemble the original
message at all. I bet the 16-ish score includes spamassassin rules
named MISSING_<foo> and such? It could also be related to blacklists
not hitting during initial delivery. Maybe you could share a sample
with us (and/or a spamassassin debug output)?

If you need debugging on those messages, start by setting up a tap for
all messages, so you don't have to pull the samples from exchange. In
postfix, you could use 'always_bcc' (or similar) to save a copy
somewhere outside of exchange. See
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#auto_bcc for
examples.
