I've been repeatedly running into problems where dns white-lists have been causing false negatives in spam. Valid looking headers are being injected at the beginning of emails which are tripping dns whitelists (see below). As a result I've been slowly disabling dns whitelist rules:
score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI 0
score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI 0
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED 0
score RCVD_IN_BSP_TRUSTED 0
score RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI 0

I'm running SpamAssassin on ubuntu hardy: spamassassin 3.2.4-1ubuntu1.2

Has anyone else been seeing this? Is this a mis-configuration on my part? Is there anything I can do to get SpamAssassin to check only the last header and ignore anything below that?
