Both are 0%FP SpamSign.

And it's not the one you're checking for.

Are you trying to be clever or something?  If you have something to  
say, say it.


I believe he means:

A forged Received: header with the domainname of the recipient
after "by" where the hostname is expected (if the two are different
in your setup).
Also the "id" part is garbage (but more difficult to check using
procmail -- maybe test for non-alphanumeric in the idstring?).

Example:

  Received: from 64.246.58.104 (HELO mail.broida.com)
      by xplanation.com with esmtp ((4)Q9E',O5 39-C2)
      id I7;1BO-,K>)Q<-YT
      for postmaster(_at_)xplanation(_dot_)com; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 19:11:27 +0000

while mail received by my mail host should have been
    "... by hostname.xplanation.com".
