It would be convenient for MUA's if there were a header item that said:

Then this happens:

spammer adds:  "I fully and completely trust $mydomain"
then forwards to next hop.

In other words, if I cannot trust the received line, why
would I trust "X-trust-whatever" ?

A hop can only proclaim trust in the previous hop.

Ack.  Order is important.

There is no variable substitution such as "$mydomain".

Yes there is.  It's in the ratware, you won't see it.  But, as you
proved, this is irrelevant.

cheers,
