header   SYL_BAD_XOIPa X-Originating-IP !~ /\[?(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\]?/ [if-unset: 
0.0.0.0]
describe SYL_BAD_XOIPa Improperly formatted X-Originating-IP header
score    SYL_BAD_XOIPa 4.0  # frankly, this alone should be grounds
                           # for rejection ...

Yes, that one works for me:

SYL_BAD_XOIPa -- 3881s/0h of 91714 corpus (74113s/17601h) 01/22/04

With results like this, 5% of the spam in my corpus and no ham, this is a
rule that should be added to the next distribution set (or at least a
variation thereof).  Would you have any objection to submitting for
consideration, and sending in an Apache Contributor License Agreement so
the SA developers can use this rule?

Thanks.
