Hi SA peeps, I noticed that I was triggering "RCVD_IN_PBL,RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL,RDNS_DYNAMIC" when sending mail through my own spamassassin, which is spamassassin-3.2.5-2 from the fc10 repo, configured via mimedefang and sendmail-milter.
I decided to try sending through my ISP's smtp server instead, and it doesn't trigger the same rules, even though the content is the same, and the client IP address is the same. I have posted the headers below, I was hoping that someone could explain what the differences are that trigger the rules on the first set of headers...?
