After reviewing this, I think we have no choice but to lookup all the co-author's domains, regardless of the presence of sender. At best, Sender can be use to change the lookup order.

Which does not give you any benefit that I can see. More useful would always be to lookup the Sender in SSP just as if it had been in the From header.

Examples:

#1: sender matching domain

    From: p1 @ a.com, p2 @ b.com, p3 @ b.com, p1 @ c.com
    Sender: p4 @ b.com

In that case, you have already looked up b.com in the From, so no need to do it again, of course.

#2: sender no matching domain

    From: p1 @ a.com, p2 @ b.com, p3 @ b.com, p1 @ c.com
    Sender: p4 @ d.com

That might be where p4(_at_)b(_dot_)com was a mailing list expander. If the mailing list published an SSP and signed, then that would get checked (though I doubt mailing lists would often be specifying "strict").

If any of [abc].com was 'strict', then the message would get through iff the mailing list had not broken their sig(s). If they were all 'all', then it would get through if either their sig worked or the mailing list's sig worked.

#3: no sender

    From: p1 @ a.com, p2 @ b.com, p3 @ b.com, p1 @ c.com

No problem in that case.
