Re: svn commit: rev 6605 - incubator/spamassassin/trunk/rules

Steve said that they have a developing problem where some SA users are
using the XBL on Received headers before the last connecting one.  The
XBL apparently contains a large amount of IPs of virus-infected (trojan
or worm) machines from which you don't want mail directly, but which are
legitimate when sending mail via their ISP.

Now that I think about it, that seems possibly wrong as viruses could
start relaying correctly.  I doubt it's hard to find the SMTP server
setting in the registry (or wherever).
