RCVD_IN_WHOIS_BOGONS mis-firing since 3.13 upgrade

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I was using 3.1.0 until today on my mail server at work and after the
upgrade suddenly I'm seeing a lot of RCVD_IN_WHOIS_BOGONS misfiring.

one example of a sender domain that triggered is d.dena.ne.jp which
doesn't directly resolve, but ns.dena.ne.jp resolves to 64.56.174.130
which shows as a network that appears in the
allocated-netrange-arin_after1995.txt on completewhois.com [1]

I've checked my trusted_networks and that seems to be OK... if i let the
trusted_network be auto-determined (i.e. not set manually) or if i set
it manually I get the same results.

The machine is on a global network with a separate interface on an
internal network.

DISGUISE_PORN_MUNDANE appears to be hitting on Japanese text as well.

I'm only seeing the tests in the mail logs so I don't have any actual
headers at the moment.

can anyone offer any ideas as to where I should look or what might be
happening?

here's some debug info that might be useful:

I've filed a bug report on this issue, if you'd care to contribute any
details or useful information.

I have just noticed the same thing.

Increase in false positives due to that rule telling me the upstream  
mail server addresses (which I don't control) have been listed in  
combined-HIB.dnsiplists.completewhois.com.

Which is not right for any reason - they ought not be there. Looking  
around at www.completewhois.com I cannot find those addresses at all.

I've had to change the score of the rule to zero as its hitting every  
piece of mail as they all pass through those upstream servers.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks
