Hi list,

I received a message from a friend, fetched the message by using POP3 and
passed it to spamassassin. It marked the message as spam.
I know this is not the intended use of spamassassin, but is there any chance
that I can circumvent this kind of false positives?

Here are the headers:
Received: from web.de by mxint02.web.de with esmtp  (WEB.DE 4.110 #2)
          id 1PshFE-0003cY-00

And here's the result from spamassassin:
Inhaltsanalyse im Detail:   (6.4 Punkte, 5.0 benötigt)

Pkte Regelname              Beschreibung
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
  3.3 RCVD_IN_PBL            RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus PBL
                             [78.55.199.104 listed in zen.spamhaus.org]

That looks to be your main problem right there - don't deep parse Received headers against Spamhaus PBL, only check lastexternal addresses, as this will cause a large number of false positives.
