This view is fairly simplistic though, because when I ask them to audit
the number of places they actually send mail from, the third party mailers
they have contracted with, and how they are going to get their remote
end-users to connect to an "authorized" mail relay, they start to
understand that putting a new piece of software in the outbound mail
stream for signing is really a very small piece of the puzzle.

The other part is that _something_ needs to be modified on
the receiving end to take advantage of the new authz
information, so it's not as if you can get out of touching
your mail system in some way... though signing does likely
touch different pieces of the mail infrastructure for larger
organizations who split the incoming and outgoing pipes.
