Well, yes, in that case it's a false-negative. :)  The IP address IS in
Dynablock's listing, but SpamAssassin doesn't even appear to be checking
according to the debug output.  In my original posting I included both a
case where I'm seeing false-positives (with Earthlink) and false-negatives
(coming from katie.darklegacies.com).  It only seems to occur when the email
is being processed through spamass-milter and spamd; processing it manually
using spamassassin works properly.  It would seem to imply that either
spamass-milter is mangling the headers or that SpamAssassin is having
trouble parsing them.

For instance, 'spamassassin -D -t' has the following output:
debug: received-header: parsed as [ ip=68.46.27.0
rdns=pcp044858pcs.trnrsv01.nj.comcast.net helo=katie.darklegacies.com
by=mail-gateway.metrologic.com ident= ]
debug: received-header: relay 68.46.27.0 trusted? No

While running spamd with debugging enabled does not show the header as being
parsed and therefore I don't believe it checks the IP against Dynablock.  As
for why it's not parsing properly I'm not sure.  I've tried both the new and
old versions of spamass-milter and niether one results in success.

OK -- that's a different issue then -- hte Dynablock list doesn't contain
that IP address for some reason.   That's not an FP, it's an FN ;)
