OK, thanks.  :-)  It's pretty clear that my proposal really IS that simple, 
and 
really DOES go a LONG way to solving/reducing the problems of spams, worms, 
and 
viruses.

I *do* urge the use of a good antispam content filter IN CONJUNCTION WITH my 
proposal.  My proposal, however, *greatly* improves the efficacy of the 
content 
filter.

Since your proposal can be usefully implemented on a small scale (unlike
SPF, which will only work if (almost) everybody uses it), a few
questions:

1) Have you implemented it? Is the implementation available?

2) Are you using it yourself? If so, how much much did it reduce the
amount of spam, how much time do you spend tweaking your permission
lists, how many people claim that they can't send mail to you?

3) Have you deployed it at a scale where you couldn't explain it to
everybody in person (E.g., a company with ~100 employees, a small ISP,
etc.)? Same questions as above, plus: How many support calls do you get?
