Strange ham corpus?

(resending this, used a wrong email account ..)

Hi,

I was checking for FPs in our RBL, and noticed that most of them are
hitting on a ham corpus that doesn't look very hammy to me:

http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20091121-r882858-n/T_RCVD_IN_ANBREP_L3?mclog=ham-net-nbebout

The scores are a bit strange (so are the rules being hit). Is this
really supposed to be ham?

I have to admit, this does look like a spam corpus.

Of 77 messages
62 hit RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100.
49 hit URIBL_BLACK
45 hit T_URIBL_META_SURBL_ANY
26 hit RCVD_IN_XBL
25 hit various JM_SOUGHT rules.

Given the broad diversity of fairly reliable spam indicators all
matching heavily on this mail, this is either a spam corpus, or a corpus
of email from "shady" companies that do lots of spamming, but the corpus
maintainer actually subscribed to them.
