Maybe some people are taking my recommendation a little to strongly.
In answer to your points:
[1]If you belong to a list that does it, put them in your whitelist (in my
opinion, any list you belong to should be in a whitelist anyway).
[2] I frankly don't understand the point of that one...
[3] If people need control over where the replies are sent, is it impossible to
have the original message sent from the same domain? Whoever heard of a mail
server you could retrieve from, but couldn't send from, or at least that SMTP
and POP3/IMAP weren't in the same domain?
Also, nobody is saying score it like CTYPE_JUST_HTML...maybe only add 0.1 or
0.05, but I find it to be a little sad most spammers these days tend to send
from one address and reply-to another (neither of which is valid), and send off
some asian relay who's admin is stupid enough to use default installations of
outdated SMTP packages (ie. relay server).
