Start in /etc/spamassassin and find the definition of the test using
grep (20_header_tests.cf) :
header KNOWN_BAD_DIALUPS eval:check_for_bad_dialup_ips()
Since it's an "eval" test the actual definition is in the source code
somewhere. Again grep is your friend. The definition is in
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/Spamassassin/EvalTests.pm, line 80. It does a
simple regex match against the variable $KNOWN_BAD_DIALUP_RANGES,
which is defined on line 22 as
# persistent spam sources. These are not in the RBL though :(
$KNOWN_BAD_DIALUP_RANGES = q(
.da.uu.net .prod.itd.earthlink.net .pub-ip.psi.net .prserv.net
);
The conclusion is that your friend gets the short end of the stick
because his ISP allows spammers to use their service. You can, of
course, change any part of SA on your installation.
