Yes, it's called RFC3848, which I learned about from this post
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/spamassassin/users/162165#162165

I believe the only MTA that doesn't support this RFC and is still in widespread
use is qmail. There is a patch for qmail but you'll have to apply it yourself.

Leaving aside rants at how rubbish this whole thing is, I'd argue that this is
not a bug in SpamAssassin indeed.

P.S. I've been sending such "buggy" email for years and it seems that it never
gets filtered as spam, which suggests that most people don't use rules like
RCVD_IN_PBL when filtering spam. This might be why unpatched qmail remains
usable to this day.
