Which one of the following processes is more optimal from a SMTP/DNS,
CPU processing perspective:

ProcessA() - SSP Lookup only for unsigned mail.

    - Message Arrives
    - Verification
        - Perform DNS look to get Public Key
        - Perform Hashing
        - Signature is Valid
    - OA SSP checking - NONE because it is a valid signature
    - Message Accepted

ProcessB() - SSP lookup

    - Message Arrives
    - OA SSP Policy lookup
       - EXCLUSIVE
           - Two Signers found --> REJECT

I would think ProcessB() is more ideal, more efficient and 100% DKIM/SSP
compatible, and more importantly with a rejection result that is mostly
likely to be more correct than ProcessA() acceptance of an OA domain
policy voilation.
