A lot of companies are using 3rd part services as a backup MX (queuing) for
disaster recovery etc; so mail is routed through that ISP.

You're right about stripping off the first received line can be handled
differently - perhaps the RTBL processing can match all IP addresses within
the header?

Ok, first off ASSP does not use the headers for the DNSBL scanning, it uses
the connecting IP address.

Second, thats a very very bad idea to try to strip connection headers, not
only does it pretty much make troubleshooting impossible it's improper
behavior for something like ASSP much less an MTA.

If you really want to use the DNSBL blocking I suggest you change your
incoming mail configuration. Why would you route incoming mail through the
ISP anyways?
