Matt, Thanks for the suggestion. I checked in the logfiles and it looks like the 192.168.10 domain is already treated as trusted (ie. spamassassin infers automatically that it is trusted). I see lines in the logfile such as: debug: received-header: relay 192.168.10.250 trusted? yes Simon At 0

Their database isn't wrong, as the IP is listed as being in a dialup range, which would appear to be accurate by my guess. I would think that the default rulesets are setup in such a way that it wouldn't catch that sort of hit, since they did relay through the ISP's server, perhaps someone else
