Thanks Simon, I agree completely. For now I deactivated spamassassin's  
rbl checks.

But it's not only an issue of Telekom. Same problem occured today with  
O2 mobile. And last week I stayed in the Czech Republic and had the  
same issues with the local O2. Another problem was that my  
girlfriend's ISP has no reverse mapping of IP addresses which resulted  
in a spam score as well.

I just start wondering if my phone is infected with something and of  
that all IP addresses I obtain are affected. But I doubt that. ;-)
