SA Blocking AOL mail?

[Tom]

Hi -

I saw something earlier about some kind of fine-tuning of Spam Assassin to stop some false positives. I've seen a few legit AOL messages get stopped lately and to my untrained eye, it looks like it's getting dinged pretty hard for being a "fake" AOL DNS when it is definitely a legitimate one (64.12.136.161). See if I'm correct:

There's a bug in SA, as reported in this thread:

Apparently no solution as of yet. :(

Thanks, man. I knew I'd seen something but I thought a fix was found.
