These two things are the same question. You have sent a mail that was
handled completely on your local machine, without involving SMTP at
all. exim's mail or sendmail wrapper just injected the mail right into
the delivery queue.

Try sending a mail to your Gmail (or whatever) account, and looking at
the headers there. Or, if you want to see specifically what
SpamAssassin does, set Gmail (or whatever) to forward mail back to
your gutteridge.info address. That way, the mail will go out to a
Gmail SMTP server, then be forwarded back to mail.gutteridge.info.
