like this. Is that more an issue of a wrongly configured spamassassin or
can that be fixed by horde itself, by omitting the client specific
received-header? If yes, how would I do that?

All this means is the dynamic IP assigned to the client has previously been
blocked and reported to spamhaus.

Since that is where the mail originated from and not the ActiveSync/webmail
server it would be intellectually dishonest for the mail headers not to
show that.

Your use should complain to the ISP (Telekom) and obtain a new an clean IP.
