This assumes mail from MLMs is treated differently than other mail.
While individual users may (and probably do) treat it differently,

I agree, in general.
One implication of that is that if you're planning to do something with
email that will break if there's a MLM involved, it's broken[1].

[1] We could call this "The SRS lemma".
Yes. It's very similar.
One needs to decide what factors one cares about the most. I said a few
threads ago that I don't think there is a completely satisfactory solution. I
think the possibilities are roughly:
1. Fix lists so that signatures survive.
2. Have MLMs change the domain of the message.
3. Have mail get rejected/discarded/etc.
There are variants of all three possibilities, but none that will satisfy
everyone.
