That's fixed now. Received: header parsing depends on SA's ability to determine
which hosts are trusted/internal and which aren't.

Without a trusted_networks declared, SA will try to guess, but that guess
doesn't work well for networks with NATed mailservers and some other configurations.

You should definitely see better performance out of DUL RBLs, and the
HELO_DYNAMIC type rules. There's also a good handful of other rules affected by
the trust/untrust decisions.

Yes, that would be prudent, as if ALL_TRUSTED is misfiring, it's a sign you need
a manual trusted_networks.
