Yust to your information: The configuration requested by Darxus (and others) with the 'trusted_networks' for the ip's listed in http://dnswl.org/s?s=20763 now works as it should. Means, no additional HI negatives scores for mails that were received by *.mobile.de and then forwarded.

Because this is a systematic problem _and_ I don't wan't to change the default SA scores for dnswl for some reasons seems the only way to fight against this special problem is to write a local rule. This rule should check if mail from mail.mobile.de has been originated by them itself (then it i
