In sections 9.3, it shows an MTA adding an A-R header based on auth. I'm
sorry, but this is an impossible case. Authentication is done when the
message is submitted, not by the receiving MTA. These will almost
*never* be the same server. Also, it is specified with an smtp.mail
headerspec, which is wrong for auth, which should be using smtp.auth
instead of smtp.mail.

It's possible to send a message to a user on the same server and have
the client authenticate using SMTP AUTH.  So although it may be uncommon
in the Internet universe, it's not completely invalid.

Either way, I'll rework the examples.

Hmmm, okay. If you keep this case in the examples, you might want to add
a note about how it can occur.
