Security through obscurity doesn't work very well when I'm considering
contributing the changes back to an open source project ;-)

I keep saying the same things here, and I'm sure that one of us is
missing something, but for the life of me, I'm not sure which one.

The root problem that I'm trying to solve is that SA has no idea that
mail was delivered to _my MTA_ encrypted and/or authenticated.

Now, I can kludge a solution to that locally, but then I have to carry
that kludge around, and I don't want to do that. Alternatively, I could
patch the SA libraries to recognized the kind of thing I need (e.g. just
the FIRST occurrence of a given header) and write a rule to use that
feature (e.g. match TLS in the first header).

Seems like a lot of talk for a little change. I'll make it and mail a
patch tonight.
