and mis-read this comment.

It's true that there's no technical way for the *recipient* to verify
that you authorized a message. However, I'd say your logic doesn't hold
- by the line of reasoning that says any non-source-verifiable email is
technically equivalent to spam, most of the messages on this list are
also technically equivalent to spam. This does not make them spam.
