agreed.

Could you open a bugzilla bug at http://bugzilla.SpamAssassin.org/ ;
it's a bug.

It looks like your mail server software ("smtpd") is using a slightly
unusual format for the Received lines here:

  from imo-m01.mx.aol.com ([64.12.136.4]) by eagle.glenraven.com

In sendmail/postfix style, that means that the host HELO'd as
imo-m01.mx.aol.com, with no reverse DNS.  Our Received-header parser
reads it as such, and of course, AOL's relays all *do* have rDNS
set up, so this is indicative of a forgery.

In this case I think we need to special-case the Received-header
parser to know that Received lines generated by that MTA, do not
contain rDNS data.

BTW what MTA is it?  smtpd sounds like Postfix, but as far as I know pf
always does rDNS checks.
