Which is why I have (and still do) promote the idea of push policy back to
the source of policy. Let the domain owner have the data detail and make
the decision themselves. Afterall, they, or designated parties, sent it,
if it is legitimate. SPF already allows this using the exists mechanisms.
I'm sure someone expert in Java and XML and tie the appropriate components
together and make it be the DNS server that makes the decisions based on
policy coded in XML (and possibly merged from multiple user information
that can be supplied to them in XML as well).
