In that case the reputation of the MLM is poor, and I don't want to
receive email from it. I still don't care about who the participants
are.

The idea that people might sign up for a mailing list full of junk,
and hope that their spam filters / reputation engine will magically
pull the occasional gem out of it seems pretty unlikely. And that's
the premise behind there being value in tracking the reputation
of original authors in the case of their email being re-sent by a
MLM.

Let's say I route all traffic from list X to its own separate mailbox, but I 
also want my MUA to flag for special attention mail sent to that list by people 
I hold in high regard, for example, and I want that to be based on their 
accumulated reputations.  I either have to base that on something forgeable 
like From:, or on something reliable like "d=".  That doesn't seem magical to 
me.

It's a bit of a contrived example, but right now I would have to maintain that 
list manually; it would be nice to have it done automatically based on feedback 
I provide to a reputation system.
