Imagine a mobile network, say one that is used in emergency situations.
It gets its internet connectivity via whatever means is available in

the next. The network has several dozen hosts, mostly laptops. It has
its own mail and DNS servers. It's not acceptable to have to
reconfigure the hosts in this network every time its means
of connectivity changes.
I don't see how this could be an argument for your opinion.
I'm using several notebooks with the mail scheme I proposed.
I'm using them in various sitations, at home, at the office, in
Wavelans, in the University, in business trips with a modem,
I was even travelling through Australia and New Zealand with it.
And I never ever had to reconfigure anything. On the contrary:
The fact that I use my central relay make the configuration
so stable that I never need to change anything, I do not even
need a running DNS service.
So your example is actually an argument for my proposal...
very unfortunate if we compromised transparency, or the ability to send
anonymous mail, for the sake of spam.
I understand that this is a bitter pill, but you can't have one
without the other, since it turns out to be basically the same.
I don't disagree in principle. But we're a long way away from having a
mechanism that would allow recipients to verify whether the sender has
the "right to use" the domain.
That's what we're here for. Nobody said it would be easy. :-)
