There is dkimverify and spfquery, two command line tools that you can run against a message in the first case and a domain with ip in the second case.

Trivial to put in a script and run against messages for sorting.

No?

This projects is not for normal email delivery but an esoteric use not usually associated with email - can't really divulge more but I'm starting to see no easy solution. There are spf scripts that can run against files separately from the stuff built into spam assassin and postfix/exim etc.

‎Well maybe. If your client supports extra folders per each mailbox and you can access those folders, then yes. Most clients do have such folders, but the are designed to be used with "filters" built in the client. The filters probably aren't sophisticated enough to check DKIM or SPF, which is why plugins are used. 

While readers of this list think filtering out email that fails ID is a great idea, the general public just wants the email to be delivered. 

I don't use Gmail, but I understand Google has implemented or is working on implementing a notification for email that fails DKIM and SPF. I would be interesting to get some stats on email passing both DKIM, each individually, or none at all.

Thanks,

So it just may be easier to deliver all messages to a folder then have a
cron job run some spf/dkim checking script against the emails.
