Putting data in the header is OK but it means that the message has to be
read before the filtering takes place.

Putting the data in the DNS is somewhat cleaner, it is a logical extension
of the SPF and callerID proposals. It means that the decision to
accept/reject can be made at connect time.


Er, no, I meant that specifically with regard to accreditation. If you choose to accept the mail, AND the accreditation checks out, you might want to add a header to the message saying "Checked accreditation from server X. If this is unsolicited, check this URL and report it if appropriate."

Obviously you would not want to add a header if you refused the mail. :)
