What does it cost to enable it?  It only needs to do work if a specific header
is present, and I'd have thought there'd be a pre-existing
header-to-authentication-scheme mapper in place to handle these sorts of things
with minimal overhead.

I decided to start hashcashing my email a few years ago when I discovered that
some software (albeit probably not SpamAssassin) was giving me a low score for
awkward reasons.  I did some tests and it turned out I wasn't getting an ideal
score from SpamAssassin either.  Now it looks like a whole lot of wasted
compute.
