The only real solution to this problem is for B to add an Authentication-Results header (see the Mail-Vet-Discuss mailing list), and to incluide that header in is own signature. Maybe that is veering off topic for this list, but at least there should be a pointer to that sort of possibility.

This doesn't work in the abstract because Auth-res isn't necessarily trustable across domains, and in fact I often don't trust who produced it even if it could be authenticated.

With the tpa-ssp extension for ssp, it is possible for an email domain to indicate which DKIM domains are authorized. This scheme scales to any number of authorizations without inducing a large number DNS transactions.

This extension is also able to specify which originating headers are permitted. The authorization list is intended to ensure hashed domain name collision is not possible.
