It's a log_message, but there's also a message (header), which is
similar to what you suggest. As far as I can see, this can contribute to
spamassassin's bayesian analysis, but doesn't seem to trigger a rule
like FORGED_RCVD_HELO, which is what I'd prefer (and which isn't being
triggered).

I think I'll do this, although it doesn't actually affect the
spamassassin score (so doesn't help with autolearning etc).

Thanks for your help.
