This causes spamassassin to flag it with:

HELO_DYNAMIC_DHCP  HELO_DYNAMIC_HCC  HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR

This easily causes a very high spam score. I've never seen these tests be positive for non-spam mail. That last Received line definitely looks suspicious, but it's real. The rest of the header follows. Is this a deranged mail server, or is spamassassin at fault? Thanks. - Mark


You obfuscated all of the network addresses required to produce an intelligent response. You also didn't say at (after) which host (received header) the mail is being scanned.


I believe (although I could be wrong), that none of the below spam tests rely on what I removed, except that you need to know that xx represents a number.

20_fake_helo_tests.cf:header HELO_DYNAMIC_DHCP X-Spam-Relays-Untrusted =~ /^[^\]
]+ helo=\S*(?:cm|catv|docsis|cable|dsl|dhcp|cpe|node)\S*\d+[^\d\s]+\d+/i

20_fake_helo_tests.cf:header HELO_DYNAMIC_HCC X-Spam-Relays-Untrusted =~ /^[^\
]]+ helo=\S*\d+[^\d\s]+\d+\S*\.(?:docsis|cable|dsl|adsl|dhcp|cpe)\./i

20_fake_helo_tests.cf:header HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR X-Spam-Relays-Untrusted =~ /^[^
\]]+ helo=[a-z]\S*\d+[^\d\s]\d+[^\d\s]\d+[^\d\s]\d+[^\d\s][^\.]*\.\S+\.\S+/i

spamassassin is running on psfcsv1.psfc.mit.edu -  Mark

Nope, the actual numbers and which host is doing the scanning make a huge difference in positively identifying a trust path issue.
