One risk to this rule, a savvy spammer could forge a "Received" header to mimic that information to gain your white-list score (now that it's been publicized on this list they know ;).

That's why I included the MTA name in the rule. Including that forces the spammer to forge site-specific Received: headers to get a hit.

To prevent forgeries from getting that free ride, test against the special Received pseudo-headers, either "X-Spam-Relays-Internal" or "X-Spam-Relays-Trusted" You might want to experiment to see what works best.

That's probably a much better solution.

And that's better still.
