Apparently, all messages now get the AHBL hit, which increases the
likelyhood of spam false positives. Spot checks reveal this problem at
least on debian-user-spanish, debian-russian, and debian-l10n-french,
but apparently, all lists are affected.

For example, a recent message to debian.user-spanish [1] has the
following SpamAssassin headers:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on
bendel.debian.org
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-9.4 required=4.0 tests=DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL,
        LDOSUBSCRIBER,LDO_WHITELIST,RDNS_NONE autolearn=unavailable
        version=3.3.2

While the total score is fine, the AHBL hit is spurious, and the rule
should be disabled.  The service was decommissioned on Jan 1, 2015, and
is now returning a blocked status for all queries; here is the DNSBL
maintainer's announcement:

Tangentially, see also http://article.gmane.org/gmane.discuss/16570

[1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-spanish/2015/01/msg00195.html
but this view does not include full headers.  You could also access it
over NNTP from Gmane.org for full headers -- I think a useful URL could
be news://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.spanish:197903 but I
don't have a tool I can check this with (maybe change news: to nntp:
IIRC?)

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.  Well, maybe not.
