The dirty-ip header comes from the premium antispam. You can turn it off if
you don't think it's giving you any value.

This is where I get confused. I thought if you were using RBL's you would
get an X-IMAIL-SPAM-DNSBL header. I have many cases where literally the
only
spam related header is X-Mail-Filters-DirtyIP. This leads me to believe
that
IMail is finding the information from some other source. I originally
thought that a Dirty-IP flag came because of detected dictionary attacks
but
I guess that is not the case.

You are always at the mercy of the data provider when using dnsrbls and
such. Those who input the data determine what constitutes spam and the
spam sources, etc. Sometimes they add entire IP ranges, and this usually
causes problems. Dnsrbls and domain rbls are a good line of defense, but
both have their faults. Spammers change both domains and IPs as some as
they're listed.

get
a lot of false positives? I am finding that they have a lot of Time

servers on the list and unfortunately a lot of our customers use Time

and I can't afford to lose emails from them.
