Thanks, this is preferable to RMX.

To determine if an STMP client is authorized to send mail for the
sender domain name in the envelope Mail_From field

I'd be happier if a straight forward check of the HELO==IP were added as
a check.

  - This scheme is better than the RMX proposal because it has
achieves the same goal, does not require the standardization and
implementation of a new DNS RR in DNS server software and MTAs.  It
requires only small changes in system administration conventions and
modest changes in MTAs.

It also has the advantage of not changing its behaviour significantly as
penetration thresholds grow.

  - I do not like this scheme, because I do not agree with the goal of
forcing people to use the same going as incoming ISPs.

Agreed.
