We had an inbound message get rejected because it was sent from a cell phone, shouldn't SA be checking the most recent hop? Is there a way to make this the default?

I have this in local.cf:
header    RCVD_IN_rbl2spamhausz   eval:check_rbl('spamhausz', 'zen.spamhaus.org.')
score     RCVD_IN_rbl2spamhausz   3.5

I'll let others address SA issues with this, I just want to point out an alternative:

Many sites consider Zen reliable enough for it to be used at the SMTP level as a poison-pill DNSBL.

That would avoid any chance of it being used "too deeply"...

no.  Many people consider Zen reliable enough to reject connections from
listed IP.  Deep header scanning is something very different.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

Rejecting up front based on the other guy's IP address is *not* deep scanning, so there's no risk of looking *too* deeply when you're doing that.

What I was trying to suggest is "maybe you want to use Zen as an MTA-level DNSBL rather than as part of the SA scan." I apologize if I didn't word it clearly.
