--- Comment #6 from Adrian Pepper <[email protected]> ---
In the two sample messages in the first attachment (in future I'll give
better names and now I believe I can add further attachments after the
bug has been created), in addition to the later headers tracing subsequent
message history, an X-Originating-IP gets generated before the header I
show you.  Would those, in particular the X-Originating-IP affect the
RDNS_NONE evaluation?

As I said elsewhere, in our context (some of our contexts) simply
changing the IPv6 link-local addresses to 172.16.* IPv4 has the
effect of both removing RDNS_NONE and evaluating to "ALL_TRUSTED".
(The obviously(?) second message in the "attachment" is simply
the first with that change made).  That is, the first message
gets "RDNS_NONE and no "ALL_TRUSTED", while the second (with the
IPv6 manually edited to IPv4) gets no "RDNS_NONE", but does "ALL_TRUSTED".

That also jives with what I observe; users sending from thunderbird
(or in my case, heirloom-mailx) using the recommended relay get
IPv4 versions of that specific header, while users using Microsoft
Exchange, possibly via the Outlook Web Application/Access (owa) get the
IPv6 version.  The latter users are essentially penalized about 7
points compared to the former.  Starting therefore with 2.x or
sometimes 3.x points, it's actually not difficult to throw in a
few favourite spamassassin key words (or other things, such as
lots of HTML, and attachment types) and get classified as spam.

If we can decide on a transfer method, I should be able to send to you
both messages without my obfuscating changes (which changes primarily
consisted of substituting bogus list names for the real list server
list names).
