The decision at hand is:

How important is it to reject forgeries before DATA vs after DATA at "." time.

Its quite easy to add the hooks needed to reject before DATA to a
lot of MTAs, especially Postfix.  Rejecting after DATA is much more
complicated.  In my case a system redesign.

If I accepted all of the junk that I reject at the door, my bandwidth
costs would increase about 50%.


If it is important, that's an argument in favour of the envelope sender,
otherwise the argument allows use of headers.
