Where can I find the rest of the test?  The spamassassin.cf file I
have says:

header FROM_FORGED_HOTMAIL  From =~ /^[^"]+\S+\@hotmail\.com/i
describe FROM_FORGED_HOTMAIL    Forged From: line claiming to be from hotmail.com
score FROM_FORGED_HOTMAIL            3.0

Ok, this makes sense.

However, looking at the false-positive message again, I see

    X-Originating-Ip: [4.35.176.66]
    X-Originalarrivaltime: 19 Jan 2002 03:55:00.0471 (UTC)
        FILETIME=[115D2070:01C1A09D]

in the headers as well.  In addition, the first Received: header has
hotmail in it.

TIA,
