I get various posts from US-CERT none so far have been tagged as spam

pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- -----------------------------------------
 5.0 BOTNET                 Relay might be a spambot or virusbot
              [botnet0.8,ip=208.42.190.173,maildomain=ncas.us-
cert.gov,nordns]

That's a bit worrying.

...but that looks like a local rule, I can't find "BOTNET" by itself as a rule in SVN. Is it local? How is it defined?

-0.0 SPF_PASS               SPF: sender matches SPF record

That's useful.

 0.0 T_DKIM_INVALID         DKIM-Signature header exists but is not
valid

That's a bit worrying, too.

I've added the address us-c...@ncas.us-cert.gov to the AWL and reran
the message through SA which helped

I'd suggest whitelist_from_auth might help more.

How did ncas.us-cert.gov get classified as a botnet host?
