There is no doubt it has value whether you got it at DATA (up to the 
first blank) or received the entire payload.

The difference is a question of overhead savings which SMTP does not 
allow because a receiver can not DROP at the first blank due to some 
clear DKIM/SMTP verification/policy failure.  To do so creates an 
implicit 451 retransmission problem.

See the discussion in IETF-SMTP about this very issue:
