OK, I found your thread here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108592532700002&r=1&w=2

Well, I have the same needs as you: we have a lot of VHosts, a lot of
untrusted users, a lot of untrusted PHP scripts and our abuse team wants
to be able to identify any script that generated unsollicited emails.  We
have ways to control network sockets usage too.  And as far as I know, all
my friends who are working for other hosting companies have similar
restrictions.  My patch only adds header if php.ini directives tell him
to do so and doesn't change any default behaviour or POLA.

Only my 10 cents...  I don't want to start any flame-war but I wanted
to say that adding those headers is a really useful feature for us too.
