I did also test the TRUSTED_NETWORKS option as well (note: I tried "trusted" and "internal" network options before resorting to this maillist for advice).
It results in: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on mailserver X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.0 required=3.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=unavailable autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0 X-Spam-Report: * -1.0 ALL_TRUSTED Passed through trusted hosts only via SMTP * 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message * X-Spam-Relays-Untrusted: X-Spam-Relays-External: X-hMailServer-ExternalAccount: POPdaily Return-Path: <char...@xxxxxxxxxxidlan.net> Received: from mailin3.myhost.net (mailin3.myhost.net [195.26.90.113]) (authenticated user=sylves...@mydomain.net bits=0) by ms7.myhost.net (Cyrus v2.4.16-Kolab-2.4.16-1.el6) with LMTPSA (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 bits=256/256 verify=YES); Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:31:04 +0100 X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.4 Received: from mailsub2.myhost.net ([195.26.90.72]) by mailin3.myhost.net with esmtps (TLSv1.2:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:256) (Exim 4.85) (envelope-from <char...@xxxxxxxxxxidlan.net>) id 1bAG9w-0001Sw-2s for sylves...@mydomain.net; Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:31:04 +0100 Received: from [2.25.50.35] (helo=[192.168.1.249]) by mailsub2.myhost.net with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES128-SHA:128) (Exim 4.85) (envelope-from <char...@xxxxxxxxxxidlan.net>) id 1bAG9r-0002wq-Oo; Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:31:03 +0100 From: Charlie Cridlan <char...@xxxxxxxxxxidlan.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1085) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-32--483328467 Subject: [SPAM] Fwd: [SPAM] from charlie re white matt vinyl Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 13:30:59 +0100 But it was from seeing this that I was still left wondering why it didnt go further down the received headers to the next hop and do a Spamhaus test on [2.25.50.35] just as it was tested and found to be on Spamhaus by my MTA. Maybe its my inexperience/novice status. Is it because it is seen as being the first/sending client? (Suppose so). And therefore the only 'relay' in the chain is the 2nd one?
