strange, I got this when I attempted delivery of this message:
     SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
     host sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.41]: 550 Administrative  
prohibition


was it for the presence of the string spam in the To:?

funny, X.X.X.X is a valid IP... I guess you are not going very far
with an invalid IP.
So, guessing from your email headers:

Received: from h-67-102-130-132.lsanca54.covad.net ([67.102.130.132]: 
1133
    helo=hermione.shadowamerica.org)
    by sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.44) id 1Ez79E-000DoJ-3S

    id 1Ez79C-0005zp-00


that's probably it: 67.102.130.132. It has correct rDNS. Only that
you are using the wrong name hermione.shadowamerica.org. That might
be the reason (at least I would give it some points).
Plus I would give another 100 points for not signing fully your
message! (mine is signed in the From:...)
