That's the method I've always used.  Even if the remote end had the 
field already or whatever, my local spamassassin would add/change it to 
what it felt it should be.  I would use the asterisk count in my MTA to 
dump the message to the bit bucket.  Much safer than just using the 
presence of the header.
