RARP?  Or was that just a belch in mid-sentence :-)?

Seems like it would be nice for those implementing such a policy to
allow chopping of subdomain prefixes; e.g., if getpeername/gethostbyaddr
return foo.bar.acme.com, and the envelope sender is joebob@acme.com,
then it's OK.  Or is that too loose?

Hmm; pretty far afield for -current.  I'll shut up now.
