An email message has two sets of headers. The headers in the envelope
which you don't directly see and the headers in the body which you do.
It's the headers in the envelope that are used for mail routing not the
headers in the body. So since this mail had a null sender (which typically
means that it's a message generated by another mail server -- although
spammers often use it), and since you can't send a bounce message to a
null sender, and since you didn't reject the message during the SMTP
session, it came into your server, got put on your spool, and then was
frozen.
