In the meantime maybe notify whoever informed you that spamassassin has a bug (# 2537 dialup dnsbl's don't skip first hop). They can add "score RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK 0" etc. to their local.cf to ignore this feature.
Dial up isn't literal it means for the most part you belong to a residential class dynamic ip address.
Dunno nuttin' about the eudora thing though...

1.9 FORGED_MUA_EUDORA Forged mail pretending to be from Eudora
I have a number of gripes about this.
1) I only get 5 points not 5.1 when I add them together.
2) I am getting penalized multiple times for the same "offence" - ie: Using a Cable Connection to send my mail to the CORRECT SMTP Server (ie: The designated Server for the ISP whose account my mail is addressed from instead of the "Smart Host" of my Cable ISP).
I get both a RCVD_IN_NJABL_DIALUP and a RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK for being a Cable User (3 points) and an extra .1 point for sending to my ISP's SMTP Server when not using that ISP's Connectivity. I object to this multi charging for the same thing. Both of the NJABL rules key off the same table and I then get clobbered with 2.5 points for not having a static IP Address (after being charged .5 points for being a "Dial-Up" user which as a Cable User I AM NOT).
I know that there is nothing that I can do about this (except Mis-Configure my Mail Client to route all my mail through my CURRENT Connectivity provider [and do it again when I alter my connectivity]) even though all the mail is going via SMTP AUTH links to PORT587 and thus is being Authenticated by the Injection SMTP Host (in MSA Mode due to it coming in via Port 587.
3) My major gripe is with the adding insult-to-injury 1.9 point invalid rejection of my X-Mailer Header. I use a Macintosh version of Eudora which does NOT have the Hardcoded X-Mailer constant that Spamassassin is looking for. In Mac Eudora the X-Mailer Header is created (as are all other X-* headers) by the user coding what the data in the header should be.
I went to www.spamassassin.org but not only was I unable to locate a description of the Rule Template (so I can pacify Spamassassin into accepting the X-Header by using the correct format and thus allowing me an extra 2 points [over the 3 that my Cable User using MSA Servers Status penalizes me] for other erroneous offences) but the list of Rules and Scores does not even acknowledge this supposed rule by name. Can someone here please supply me with the Rule Template or suggest what I should use other than just outright lying by claiming to be a Windows Eudora User by saying:
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.0.0.22
For reference purposes (as can be seen in my headers) my current header is:
X-Mailer: Eudora Pro 6.0.1 PPC (MacOS 10.3)
Thank you.
