Yes, trivially. Look at the way Spamassassin works...

SSP_STRICT_FAIL = 4
SSP_ALL_FAIL = 2
SSP_UNKNOWN = 0


That's the problem with a vague spec. I didn't mean to ask for a description of how this might be done, but a discussion of the likelihood it would.

  Well, Pat Peterson has already chimed in here. And I know that the
  SA guys already incorporate DKIM, so I'd say that the chances are
  pretty high that they will. Or are you asking me or other people to
  document this with PRD's to your satisfaction?

  FWIW: I have hacked SA to do exactly this, so there is even an
  existence proof.

To use your example, where 5 declares spam, why is the configuration likely to set STRICT to 4 rather than 10 or 100, given the semantics of Strict?

  Why does this matter? It's an implementation detail. You only asked
  whether people would use SSP that way. The answer is a resounding yes.
