The general theory is that a replay involves mail for a DKIM domain
coming from different sources/hops than it normally does.  Having spf/dkim
both align
is usually a good indication that a message is not a replay, so that can be
used to
protect the majority "good" traffic and have stronger rules against traffic
which doesn't
match.
