The subject text is the first paragraph of the normalized body which
is parsed for domains.

Most emails don't have a domain in the body, so if you start adding
a lot of domains from the headers, the number of look-ups could increase
dramatically. It could push some mail servers beyond the usage limits.

The main point of URI blocklists is to catch the website that's the
point of contact with the spammer. I think it going to be pretty
rare for a listed domain to appear in the headers without its being in
the body. That was my experience with my askdns rules.

The from header is already largely covered by the parse_dkim_uris
option. Reply-to might be worth trying, but  most of the interesting
reply-to addresses are Freemail.
