I've been using this test for a while, and personally find it fairly
useful with a manually-assigned 1.0 score.

Much like the zillion other tests that catch lots of mailing-list traffic,
this one will too.

The trouble with it is that you can only GA-optimize it if your corpus all
has the delivered-to headers. So it probably needs to be a manually-scored
rule. But it probably needs to be manually-scored and enabled anyway,
because everyone has different support for this header.
