Hopefully my comment isn't out of place with the current discussion of
JMF/Hostkarma. I think this is not only a really bad default score,
but it should be reduced to -0.5 or perhaps not used at all.

I have a money/fraud email that hit RCVD_IN_JMF_W that passed through
these servers:

Received: from 41.220.75.3
Received: from webmail.stu.qmul.ac.uk (138.37.100.37) by mercury.stu.qmul.ac.uk
Received: from qmwmail2.stu.qmul.ac.uk ([138.37.100.210]
Received: from mail2.qmul.ac.uk (mail2.qmul.ac.uk [138.37.6.6])

It also hit these other rules:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=1.3 tagged_above=-300.0 required=5.0 use_bayes=1
  tests=AE_GBP, BAYES_50, LOTS_OF_MONEY, LOTTERY_PH_004470,
LOTTO_RELATED, MONEY_TO_NO_R, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED, RCVD_IN_JMF_W,
RELAYCOUNTRY_UK, SPF_FAIL, SPF_HELO_FAIL

Unless I'm really missing something, which server has JMF/Hostkarma
whitelisted that shouldn't be?

This happens time after time.

I receive spam every single day from hosts listed on the HostKarma whitelist. In comparison, it's very rare that I see any spam from hosts listed on dnswl.org. I chose a score of -0.2 here.
