Also, such a scheme is fraught with all the problems that currently affect SPF, DKIM, etc with forwarded mail.
It's always amazing to me that Internet e-mail works at all these days, what with spam, viruses, large software companies trying to dilute/pervert the standard, etc. That it still works is a testament to the technical wisdom and insight of the "founding fathers" (Gordon, Resnick, et al) who developed the RFCs on which it's based.
When a lot of people think of the Internet, they think of the web, but as an IPP I can tell you this. If someone's website goes down they call you and complain. If their email goes down they come looking for you with a rope and a lawyer! Fortunately, I've never had to deal with the latter.
