Makes sense to me. If you're getting a lot of spam from certain
networks, the Received: headers would reflect that. For ham, the
headers would be learned as ham and would offset other negative
scores.

I don't see a problem. I'd trust header+body-based Bayesian a little
bit more than just body-based. Beyond a certain point, it's difficult
to fake received headers.
