You can make that from the message headers in your post. Normally, Return-Path: header is followed by Received: headers which tells how the email arrived at your mailbox. In your cases, the Return-Path: header is followed by X-Spam-* headers, then followed by Received: headers. So, it is very very likely that the messages were scanned by the MDA which I presume to be "procmail" since your MTA is sendmail 8.13.1. Look into system wide procmailrc or per user ".procmailrc" (note the dot before procmailrc) in respective home directories.
