The last server which /successfully/ handled the message would
be the one which sent you the notice about the problem.  /It/
got the bounce when trying to hand the message on to the next
link.  You cut all the headers I'd look at to find out.

However, I do see some problems with the headers you quoted.
The most important one is the malformed 'Message-ID' one which
should have the full address of a computer on the right of the
'@' sign instead of just 'acc'.  Was that message actually
from someone using the account 'hk11' at nltworld ?

How do you collect email on your own computer from Demon ?
The headers you show suggests that it might have been your own
computer which rejected the message as unsolicited bulk email.
