My outbound mail, in case you failed to notice, is routed through
frodo.hserus.net (202.77.223.48) - which is in none of those DNSBLs.
That 61.whatever is the address of my home ADSL connection, which I
don't use an mta for anything except queueing mail and then forwarding
it through my colo box.

Please follow your own advice.

Oh. So that's why. Your stupid "viruswall" snips out the connecting IP
of frodo.hserus.net - and so you check for IPs one header down, to my
smarthost.
Utterly stupid way to scan your mail ... about as stupid as running a
mail gateway that strips / doesn't log originating IPs in the received:
headers.
