How much does the removal of these headers change the effectiveness and false positive rate of the PRA algorithm?

I don't know. I haven't seen any data on the effectiveness or false positive rate of the PRA algorithm. I haven't seen any data on it at all, but I'd sure like to.

Does anyone have a largish data base of messages (just need the headers) categorized as spam/not-spam? I would happy to code up a quick PRA test and run it over the dataset. Of course, without the domains publishing records, we'll have to make some guesses as to if the identified PRA matches the smtp client IP...
