Summary: Need a workaround for Earthlink routing stupidity
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified

Earthlink has added a hop to all of its mail routes that is address 127.0.0.1.
I believe this bogus node probably breaks first_untrusted and similar rules if
you extend trust to the Earthlink servers.
Below are typical received headers, in this case for a spam from "friend
([84.22.20.109])". Notice this was received by "noehlo.host ([127.0.0.1])",
which is actually part of the Earthlink network; seemingly the front door.
While it would be nice to get Earthlink to fix this idiocy, they are now
populated solely by incompetents, and it isn't possible to communicate with
thinking humans that could recognize they have created a problem. Since the
hostname and address appears to be fixed, I think a workaround for this special
case may be the best possible solution.
