We are getting heaps of false positives off these rules - ironically
mainly from our IT services dealers/sellers/etc.

Since upgrading from SA-3.1* to 3.2.0, we have discovered that it
appears most small New Zealand businesses run mail servers on DSL links
with PTR records of the format "NN-NN-NN-NN.isp.carrier.nz". Hence they
end up with 2.2 points
(FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_D,FH_HOST_EQ_D_D_D_DB,RDNS_DYNAMIC) added without any
real effort. That plus their sputty HTML mails pushes them into the 5-7
range.

I know SA isn't really doing anything wrong, but are people in other
countries seeing this too? If so, it may imply the default scores are
too high?

Obviously I'm going to have to lower those scores to compensate - I bet
more spam will come through too :-(
