I suspect a significant constituency of users would desire
such freedom, while also appreciating improved protections.
How about the rights of the server? of the domain owner?
The US just got slammed with the new version of the SOBER e-virus spoofing
of the FBI.GOV domain.
If the FBI.GOV would used SPF or DKIM, it would of protected itself as a
deterministic method. The VIRUS would not got gotten its FOOT in the door
to be passed to USERS with your "take the first strike" ideas.
FWIW, for our WCSAP customers, they were protected via CBV (Call back
Verifier). We even were protected with a broadcast to our
sales(_at_)santronics(_dot_)com address:

We got about 15 to 20 of these that I can see in my logs in the last two
days.
Sorry, Doug, with your ridiculous idea and your rejection to use
deterministic methods, the harm would be MUCH GREATER across the board, by
passing the buck to the user.
Folks, lets get rolling with this stuff. I hope we are trying to cater TOO
much to the direct marketing association with a lean towards "user consent"
methods. I'm not against remove the rights of DMA. They have a right to
do business - AFTER the technical consistency of the transactions are
validated. It is to the DMA market best interest that they promote more
deterministic methods so the automated software can reduce the bad actors
promoting harm to systems, domains and end-users and we want to do this with
the UTMOST backward compatible matter. We need a simple DKIM+SSP idea that
even the FBI can use!!!
