Morning everyone,

    Whilst trying to debug a spammer, or potential misconfiguration in
my SA/postfix set-up, I noticed this in the spam header:
*Received: from 95.132.70.144(helo=xxx.co.uk) by xxx.co.uk with esmtpa
(Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1MMY4Z-6815vh-KW for <address@hidden>;

The ESMTPA noted in the header stuck me as strange.  1) Does this mean
that spammer authenticated with an smtp-auth username and password?
Suggests an authenticated user - nothing unusual in that, spammers
hijack accounts all the time (assuming the header is, of course,
genuine)
Agreed. I don't know if the header is genuine. 

The milter, with its current calling parametres, should not give it a free ride. ( I do not know whether it is or not).  The -I is not configured, so it shouldn't...

2) Is there an SA rule that would subtract points if this is seem in a
header ( I didn't think so)?
You could always write one.
Agreed, but there no reason at the moment to  re-invent the wheel,  if its already been written.
