Whitelists that are address based are more insecure. It is not cheating at
all. The purpose of the DYNALIST feature in SORBS and others to detect large
bulk-spammers that hail form dynamic IPs that can't be easily shut-down.
Email from SquirrelMail is just not the case - it is a single user sending a
single user email. The fact that it came from a web-site is irrelevant. It
is like saying it is cheating to use your ISPs SMTP server - you should run
one yourself so that your home machine's PC's IP address appears.
The effect of my hack keeps the info there for posterity - just makes it
more like a standard email client / SMTP gateway and does not add the IP
address of anything before the machine that is actually sending the mail.

Tomas and all,
isn't this 'cheating' spamassassin users? Surely the correct way to
handle this is to ask the spamassassin user to 'whitelist' you by asking
them to add the following to their user_prefs:
whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If needs be modify your signature to request that they do this.
