We still fail on the FORGED_HELO test. Here's why:

Who said HELO? www.ccolton.com, or was it really earthlink.net, and
should it have been bellsouth.net ? You want _LESS_ domains in there,
not more

No match for "WWW.CCOLTON.COM".
There are different types of record for a domain. Ping uses one. The
one relating to mail is the MX record. These are looked up on the fly by
spamassassin. I have copied this to the list so as the mail geniuses
there can straighten us both out, but I think it falls this way.
If you look for an ip for somebox.somewhere.org, a .org server
will be asked. It will probably say "Ask your local .org server [IP]"
You ask the local one, and It will say " ask somewhere.org [IP]"
Then the software will ask somewhere.org, and it will have to
have a record for somebox. No other record in the world greatly matters.
If your mail identified as being from bellsouth.net, there would be no
issue. That's your email address. It identifies as www.ccolton.com. FIX
THAT! You don't have to change hostname, or domain name. Just tell your
mail software that your box is to identify as bellsouth.net, and see if
earthlink still accepts the mail.
