The IETF is about documenting things more than recommending them. De facto standards and random hacks are grist for the RFC mill. This is neither news.admin.net-abuse nor SPAM-L. Around here as well as among experience professionals, whether something is documented in an RFC is irreleavnt, except when you're worried what you need to write in a new RFC. The IETF is about making interoperation more likely but not about net-cops checking for RFC compliance. All that matters is whether something has desired effects, sufficiently few and mild bad effects, and doesn't make one's employer look too bad. This is particularly true of security and authorization issues, which is what controlling spam is. If you're ambitious, generous, and have permissions from your bosses and relevant intellectual property owners, you might take the time to push your favorite hacks through the Standards Process, but that is in no sense required. Most authorization policies are not documented in RFCs. Long established spam defenses were once controversial hacks. For example, requiring that sender domains be present and valid was controversial when AOL started checking, but it is now the default in popular MTAs. Have you turned off that check because it is not mandated by an RFC?
