Mail from savannah to fencepost.gnu.org triggers spam assassin.  I forwarded
the attached email to address@hidden and they said it was due to the mail
configuration on savannah.

This is likely caused by the Received: lines that are in RFC1918 address
space.

The spamassassin tests that fired were external blocklist.
I suggest the Savannah hackers make sure that mail that is sent from
that system does not include Received: lines that point to non-routable
hosts.

Thanks,
Ward.
