So I just received an email, and the spamassassin output says:

SPAM: *  0.4 -- RBL: Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com
SPAM:           [RBL check: found 87.20.89.138.relays.osirusoft.com., type: 127.0.0.3]
SPAM: *  0.6 -- RBL: DNSBL: sender ip address in in a dialup block
SPAM: *  0.4 -- RBL: Received from first hop dialup listed in relays.osirusoft.com
SPAM:           [RBL check: found 87.20.89.138.relays.osirusoft.com., type: 127.0.0.3]

Okay, but, of course it's a dialup, the person who sent it is on a
dialup IP and sent the mail through a mail server just like we tell
them they're supposed to, so the dialup IP appears in the first
Received header.

The documentation implies that the _FH version of the DUL rule is
meant to compensate for a first-hop dialup IP, not penalize the
sender further for making the mistake of using an ISP mail server.
So how come the default scoring says

score X_OSIRU_DUL_FH                 0.360

Shouldn't that have a negative score?

(The mail didn't score high enough to get tagged as spam, but I
looked more closely because I saw the hits in the X-Spam-Status
header.)
