Hi. 

The FAKED_IP_IN_RCVD rule in v2.55 coming with the SuSE distribution reads:

header FAKED_IP_IN_RCVD         
Received =~ /from [-0-9a-z\._]+_\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\] /i

I thought this was supposed to catch lines like this:

Received: from mx249.Bluebird9.us (unknown [203.208.248.249])

which is the standard second Received line as written by Postfix (also coming
with SuSE).  The first Received line reads:

Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])

This test is an important test (2.9 points in local configuration), but it never
gets triggered, obviously, because of the underscore following the + sign in the
rule and the paranthesis in the Received line.  I don't understand:

1. Do I misinterpret the purpose of this rule?
2. Or, is the rule written for a different MTA (like Sendmail) and it wasn't
properly adapted for Postfix?
3. ?

Can you give me an idea?  Thanks a lot.
