Suspicious.  I don't think you're getting alot of spam but rather the same
spam repeatidly.  I don't know how you're getting/processing your mail so
maybe this does apply but where I work we had a similar problem/symptom.

An email (invariable a peice of spam) would arrive with From: set to <> and
the To: header completly missing.  Looking at the headers you posted this
appears to match what you are seeing.  It seems that the pop daemon would
get confused by the missing To: header so this email would be downloaded by
the email client but never deleted or marked read.  So the next time the
email client connected it would download the same peice of mail.  Again and
again and again.

Possibly this is your problem.  Possible this is happening, but some where
upstream of you that you have no control over.  I realise that doesn't
really answer your question, how to filter it, but we'd need to know how
your mail is being handled to answer that.
