Not *quite* as strict, but we apply three strictness checks on format of 
envelope and headers (or their absence) and assign cumulative, weighted point 
scores to later compare to a per-user threshold.

Our logs show that *of those tagged at all* some 96% eventually pass for either 
normal or sequestered delivery.

Only 4% of those so tagged are eventually rejected - and that may be for 
unrelated reasons.

So - JMHO - too much potential for falsing, too little useful meat on that bone.

And I can safely shed three more acl clauses..
