Yeah an attribute might be tidier, but Mail servers regularly add headers so that information can get shared. As I mentioned previously, messages on this listserv are added to email we send around.

I think the grey line needs to be drawn based on whether or not the header will actually be used by another mail server.

What do X-Antivirus and X-spam-rating get used for outside of the servers that add them. It seems to me that certifying that a message is not spam and/or is virus free would require that
1) the certifying host be trusted by the receiving host
and 2) the certifying host sign the header

This is quite a lot of infrastructure to support, but may be useful moving forward. Probably not something that JAMES should spearhead, though.
