What's the best practice preventing this? Changing SpamAssassin in
some way, masquerading/munging Received-headers, or something else?

1) work with the RBL to get de-listed


2) change ISPs to move your IP to a different block.

And that's about it.. The fact that SA notices that a source IP is listed, even though you use a legitimate mail relay, is NOT a bug. It's intentionally designed to do that.

However, listing in a single RBL really shouldn't cause you any significant problems communicating with people who use SA. The threshold is 5.0 and for example, the person you linked to was complaining about RCVD_IN_SORBS.

SORBS is a very low collateral damage list. The person posting is likely listed because his/her source IP is a zombie (ie: stolen or transferred in an illegal manner) or it's a got an open proxy on it. If it's got an open proxy, they can fix it and submit the IP for retesting..

if the IP address is stolen and listed in the zombie block, they should be VERY wary of their ISP. They've obviously been buying IP blocks on the grey/black market.
