Isn't that most of the dkim and spf-signed mail from freemail providers is after all caming from a well-defined bunch of net bunches? This would end in a co-relation between the signedby field and the ip one. Signedby would then add almost nothing to the equation. Also, please note that a awl.signedby would make the AWL test a network-based one, which actually is not. I do understand AWL needs to adjust for ipv6 addresses. I would also agree it could be "squeezed" a bit further. But my very personal thinking about this, that is the one of (mostly) a SA user, is that anything is going to break existing setups must be worth the troubles. So, the ipv6 problem do or will exist. Since patching it would require some changes to the AWL table structure, I am quite in favor of adding anything can squeeze more from AWL. But pardon me, I think a signedby column may at most make a difference in border cases. In another bug you opened about AWL I said that detecting the assigned bunch address to which a source belongs was unfeasible. Well, that's true, but I forgot ASN routes. We can instead use ASN routes to discriminate the source. SA already uses the ASN plugin to discover the ASN number related to a source. The ASN plugin issues a DNS query to ans.routeviews.org in order to get it, but the reply from routeviews.org also contains route netaddress and netmask length... So, AWL should store a cidr instead of a fixed-length address. This would at least mean adding a column to the AWL table and change somehow the content (and possibly the name) of the ip one in order to accomodate a variable-length, IPvX network address. This would add a bit of complexity to the AWL code, but I believe it is worth the effort. I don't have numbers for this and I really would like to.
