I don't think it's not a KHOP FP, but a DNSWL FP.  If you got spam from
a DNSWL MED listed host, by all means report it to adm...@dnswl.org.

KHOP_RCVD_TRUST, is supposed to lower the score of a mail that is

  DKIM signed or passes SPF

  hits a whitelist

  doesn't hit lots of whitelists

I suggest reading the rules to really be clear on it.

I don't really understand why this is a good idea; most if not all of
the whitelists are based on the IP address of the sender.  I get spam
From whitelisted hosts all the time (facebook is particualrly bad), but
spf/dkim won't help - the spam really is from them.

I hadn't really paid attention to this before, but I just changed the
score (leaving it non-zero so I'll notice it on FPs and perhaps
reconsider - I filter to spam filter at 1 point).

score   KHOP_RCVD_TRUST         -0.1
