FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD bug??
G'day everyone,
I received a legitimate email from Hotmail today, which (I believe)
inappropriately triggered the FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD rule in my SpamAssassin
(version 3.1.5). The email from Hotmail was actually a bounce-back to an
email sent by one of my users to a Hotmail address - it was bouncing back as
a "no such user" error from Hotmail, but I think that's not relevant.
There were only two Received headers in the email from Hotmail, and they are
as follows (unchanged except for the munging of mydomain.com). The top-most
Received header was added by my server, and is therefore reliable, as is the
Hotmail IP stated there - 65.54.246.140. Can anyone tell me why the
FORGED_HOTMAIL_RCVD rule misfired, and what I might be able to do about
it?....
