Ok, I'm confused.
Granted, the IP seems to be in DUL from MAPS and relays.osirusoft.com

SPAM: Hit! (1.5 points)  Received from dialup, see

SPAM:                    [RBL check: found 94.208.252.158.dialups.mail-abuse.org]      
                                    
SPAM: Hit! (2.0 points)  Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com           
SPAM:                    [RBL check: found 94.208.252.158.relays.osirusoft.com.]

Turns out:
gandalf [mc]$ host 94.208.252.158.relays.osirusoft.com.
94.208.252.158.relays.osirusoft.com     A       127.0.0.3

So both RBLs agree that the IP is on a DUL.

Sure, you can argue as to whether to  BLs should be used or not. I don't see
this as a problem, _except_ when the  lists are being applied on all the IPs
in the received lines.
Again, if this is really what's  happening, I don't understand why a message
is being  penalized because  it originated  from a  dialup modem. If  it was
properly relayed through the ISP's mail server, where's the problem?

I may be missing something, but if this were really happening, it should affect
many more messages.

I guess my  main question is: is SA  supposed to look at all the  IPs in the
received lines?
If so, why?

Thanks,
Marc
