If they're all the same, which I assume means that the e-mail domain
of the sender will no longer appear in the header text, DCC clients
won't be able to treat different e-mail domains differently.  DCC
computes checksums for each header individually, but has almost no way
to handle combinations of headers.  I realize that authentication is
only a one-bit value, but it's the e-mail domain that's important for
reputations.  This can take on thousands of values.
