Hi List... my first post - hopefully something worthwhile:

in SpamAssassin/EvalTests.pm:

the original
sub check_rbl

  if ($#ips > 1) {
     @ips = @ips[$#ips-1 .. $#ips];        # only check the originating 2
   }

is not such a good idea when the RBL also checks for dialups such as
relays.osirusoft.com (main zone includes dialups / cable / DSL as well!), 
blackholes.five-ten-sg.com or dynablock.wirehub.net. The originator will 
very likely be dialup / cable / DSL - and that's fine as long as they go 
past a decent relay that they are authenticated for.

my suggested approach therefore is:

   if ($#ips >= 1) {                # originator isn't sending directly...
     @ips = @ips[1 .. $#ips-1];        # check 2+nd stage relay, but not 
originator
   }

this should also help reducing false positives from osirusoft and more 
importantly from five-ten-sg.com - which has a very good dialup IP pool!

What do you think?

- Gregor
