I really don't understand all the resistance to a header applied by the

much more solid system that doesn't fail in mysterious ways when people
have legitimate mail setups that happen to differ from the one the
designer anticipated.  It's not unlike the advantage of DKIM over SPF.

If I see a message that I think is spam, and it carries a "report-abuse-to" header, how do I know that the header was added by the MDA and not by the spammer?
