You might want to consider consider verifying that it is directly connecting
to your host rather than on any Received line.  There should be far less
traffic from dynamic or broadband sources that directly connect to your host
than broadband/dynamic users sending legitimate messages.

header   MY_DSL Received =~ /from (your test).*by host.my.domain/
describe MY_DSL Contains likely dsl address in header
score    MY_DSL 3.0
