One is the DNS White List (dnswl) method, used by Courier (mentioned
in Appendix E).  It writes:

  Authentication-Results: wmail.tana.it;
      dnswl=pass dns.zone=list.dnswl.org
      policy.ip=127.0.9.1
      policy.txt="ietf.org http://dnswl.org/s?s=1703"

Since it was me who suggested to use Authentication-Results, I think
it's up to me to register that.  I'm waiting for this I-D to get
published so as to avail of Designated Expert rather than IETF review.
