I don't think it's going to be that easy.
SpamAssassin is being arsy as your IP is probably in a block of, what
used to be called, DialUP pools. It's considered that any SMTP server
running on said IP pool is probably a spammer, hence the high rating.
I /really/ can't recall who maintains this list right now - I tried to
get my old DSL removed from it, and it was a waste of time, at that
time, they weren't interested....
