I'm no expert but it would seem to me that it would respect RFC822/2822.
I'm going to put both in my version of qpsmtpd so that clamav will work
correctly at least.
This is frankly utterly insane.
I'll admit that it's not the best idea I had this week.
The meaning of Received: is established. It has NOTHING to do with the
use you are putting it to here and instead your proposal will break
parsing of genuine Received: headers.
The RFC only requires the Received: header to end with a semi-colon and a
timestamp. In practice we see a lot of Received: headers that don't respect
the "established" meaning you're refering to. For example, qmail adds a lot
of those: Received: (qmail 17599 invoked by uid 0); 29 Jan 2004

Received-SPF: and Received: are two completely different headers. Anyone
who can't write a parser to tell the difference shouldn't be coding.

You mean, it will work around things that are already broken, like when
expecting a "Received:" line at the top of the headers?
The idea is to break the least number of things. Using Received-SPF break a
somewhat popular program, ClamAV. It would be interesting to know if it
breaks more programs. I speculate that using Received instead of
Received-SPF would break less things, and that's why I'm proposing it.
