I see you are correct. But why on earth did the devels take a giant step backwards and do that? I can see putting the "notfirsthop" code back to really do that. It is correct and all. But I can't see why they didn't follow up and change all the rules to "firstuntrusted". The "notfirsthop" algorithm is completely broken for use with DUL RBLs. It can improperly penalize dialup users who have internal servers that correctly forward to the ISP relay SMTP server. (Think of "neighborhood co-op line share" type setups.)
