More Sendgrid trouble?
Is anyone else seeing intermittent FNs on mail sent through Sendgrid
where the nominal sender has a default welcomelist_* entry?

Today's spample is a Mcafee scam email, pretty clearly sent through
Intuit's Sendgrid account based on the rDNS. On testing in my sandbox
it was only allowed through due to the stock welcomelist entry for Intuit.

Not 100% sure whether this is a Sendgrid issue, or an Intuit issue -
I've reported the message to both of them, for whatever good it will do.

spamd/main[22469]: spamd: result: . -18.593 -
BAYES_00,DKIMWL_WL_HIGH,DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_AU,EXCESSIVE_BASE64_TEXT,HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,SPF_HELO_NONE,SPF_PASS,T_REMOTE_IMAGE,USER_IN_DEF_DKIM_WL,USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL

(I've patched spamd to show more numeric precision in several fields for
easier log analysis.)

The Bayes result is not great, but the USER_IN_DEF_*_WL hits between
them account for most of that negative score anyway.

With dkim-signed spam, I think the only two paths forward are:
- hope they fix their apparently compromised system
- take them out the default WL (locally now, and via a rule update in
a few weeks)
