Depends. Does Exim actually process all the Received lines, or does it
just test the connecting host?

Trouble is that SA has some flexibility I think Exim doesn't have - the
ability to tag message differently based on the contents of the DNS reply,
not just the existence of one.

But indeed - doing it in both places seems silly.
