I knew there was a reason I disabled it:

 *  0.01 BOTNET Relay might be a spambot or virusbot
 *      
[botnet0.9,ip=72.166.183.235,rdns=p1-183235.e.target.com,maildomain=e.target.com,client,ipinhostname]

I enabled them with a lower score, and it still catches a ton of good
mail that comes from poorly configured systems.

Maybe when this plugin was written it wasn't common to have an IP in a
mail server's hostname, but these days it is.

 *  0.01 BOTNET_IPINHOSTNAME Hostname contains its own IP address
 *      [botnet_ipinhosntame,ip=72.166.183.235,rdns=p1-183235.e.target.com]

There are dozens of other examples. Perhaps it would work in a meta
with a low score, but I think it needs more current development.

Thanks,
Alex
