I have lots of mailboxes internally that have mail shoveled to them

We all filter on From:. If you know the domain is well-behaved, what's
the point of using i= rather than From: ?
This thread has a basic flaw: it is predicated on a a particular
interpretation
of i=, which is undocumented and certainly not standardized.
If folks want to have a discussion about filtering based on a validated author
identifier or address, they should start with a construct that is standardized
to provide that. Currently, there is no such construct.
As for any thought that i= could be made into that construct, I think the
reasons that are not practical have been explained at length.
