One can set an -x flag to capture the original outbound border sending IP 
address and that information is certainly available to the MUA but I dont think 
this document is the place to discuss what to do with that information within 
the MUA

It has been suggested that an MUA might wish to make further evaluations

MTA and, therefore, this specification should enable that by including the
relaying IP address as detected by the border along with all of the other
result data.  That information could then be compared to blacklists or
whitelists, used to query reputation, etc. by the MUA displaying the
message.

Do you mean that the draft should specify a new method for passing 
the relaying IP address to the MUA?  Can't that be done with iprev?

BTW, the information from blacklists may be out of date by the time 
the MUA processes the message.
