Why is that the same host is seen as trusted
(which I want) and a few minutes later it is not.

ALL_TRUSTED doesn't mean the host that handed you the mail is trusted. It means *all* servers in the Received: chain are trusted.

So if servers A and B are trusted, but C is not...

A->B->You
        would trigger all_trusted
C->B->You
        would NOT trigger all_trusted

...even though both messages reach you from server B, which is trusted.

A->C->You
        would not trigger all_trusted either, because C is not trusted,
even though the original sender A is. (If you don't trust C to add reliable headers, you can't be certain that it really came from A.)
