I still have the following comments (wich you didn't answer previously):

* I think there should be a way to tell the world wether you are using the scheme for a domain (not host) or not. This could easily be done in DNS.

* I think you should follow conventions in DNS naming, using an underscore to signify that the DNS record is a "special" type of record. This is quite common.


You could use SpamAssassins registrar boundaries stuff for getting the domain in a SA plugin, and score higher for missing MTX host record if there is an MTX domain record.


An example (of the top of my head) could be:

To say that "marmaduke.frukt.org" [195.67.112.219] is allowed to send mail:
219.112.67.195._mtx.marmaduke.frukt.org. IN A 127.0.0.1

To say that we're using your scheme for all hosts under "frukt.org":
_mtx.frukt.org. IN A 127.0.0.1

If anyone connects from a host where reverse lookup or HELO puts it in "frukt.org" domain, you know that your should reject or score high unless it has FCDNS and a matching MTX record.


(And of course, if this catches on, you'll have to provide RFC style documentation.)
