Would that mean that the MUAs have to be matched to the user agent of
the filters of the MTA that they use?
Not necessarily. The actual goal is to allow you to keep a local reputation
database of filters.
What about a spammer forging the header coming from the filter?
Policy issue. You may decide you only want to trust endorsements generated
locally, but the standard header would still be very useful even so.
Suppose for example, that I have a milter that extracts certain header
features indicative of forgery that would be invisible to an
exclusively token-oriented Bayesian filter. Then what I'd want the milter
to do is say this:
Filtered-By: forgerfinder-1(_dot_)0(_at_)thyrsus(_dot_)com:bogus-trace=yes;
Then the Bayesian filter would be able to "see" the forgery.
Forging these reputation headers would be a criminal offense under CAN-SPAM.
