Most of us weight the results in our mailserver/proxies/miltners and score the 
weights in SA/ASSP/etc

However, the signature was the IP 205.178.189.13 and not the host name. That IP 
hosts a lont more than a reverse DNS would lead you to believe.  When it was 
listed contained a zeus bot and was infected also with a iframe attack hosted 
on that IP. See 
http://malware.im/network-solutions-and-wordpress-security-flaw/  Given the 
above I am not sure I would deweight the signatures.  In fact, I have to wonder 
what kind of email would contain that IP in a url. Youu do whitelist accounts 
that discuss viruses/malware/etc don't you?
