The complete error looks like this:

mhaus.net. type=A class=IN) failed: a domain name contains a null label

This doesn't seem to happen each and every incoming message and I guess
it really doesn't hurt anything however I'm just curious as to what
might be causing it. It appears to have been going on all year so far
but as I said not with every incoming message just from certain domains
it seems.

Any ideas?

It's the dot-dot in that request.

(1) Do you happen to have a spample that does that? If so, could you upload it to pastebin and post the URL for it here?

(2) What version of SpamAssassin are you running?

See:
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7156
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6896

That was converted from a warning to an info, so it looks like your SA version may be a bit stale.

I don't think we ever pulled the trigger on normalizing ".." ⇒ "." for URIBL lookups as a URL with a malformed FQDN like that doesn't work in a browser.
