Michael,
The above is so wonderfully precise, concise and cryptic, that I am
entirely missing your point.
Could I ask you to provide enough text to explain what point you are
making and, of course, why/how this example makes the point?
This is hardly rocket science. Filters could make use of the fact that
there was a
SSP violation. Filters like, oh say, Spamassassin. He asked for "the"
reason, I
offered "a" reason. There are others.
Note that the first question offered a false choice: there need not be
"The" reason
for SSP or DKIM for that matter. There may be a variety of reasons why
it's useful
to a variety of different people, where a preponderence of reasons
amongst a
preponderence of people who think they're useful is good enough reason to
specify it. For the people who think it's not a very useful thing, I'd
suggest that
it would be a better use of time to find something that *is* useful
rather than engaging
in a futile intrinsicist debate .
Mike
