many tests (e.g. those who chcek for dynamic IP) use last external IP, which
means some network checks will still be killed by such forwarder.
I seem to remember someone saying a while ago that it's not clear to the
average spamassassin admin (eg me) which rules use trusted and which use
external. Is there either a place that explains it all - or is there
some logic that anyone can tell me? Not crucial, but I'm interested.
I think it's the forwarder who has to take care of spam... any further
forwarding blurs the difference between ham and spam...
I agree entirely.
