Yes. From the manual: A plain host name at the start of the string is a verified host name w.r.t. both forward and reverse DNS; if this is not present, verification either failed or was not requested. A host name in parentheses is the argument of a HELO or EHLO command. This is omitted if it is identical to the verified host name or to the host's IP address in square brackets. I note that the resolution of this bug is inconsistent with bug 3960. That bug is also a misconfiguration of Exim that causes errors in the Received: header according to the syntax in RFCs 821 and 2821. However 3960 is WONTFIX but you are patching SpamAssassin for 3950 rather than telling the user to get a clue.
