I have raised this and I have also raised more than once concerns that
there are zillions of MUAs in intranets and behind firewalls that cannot
do DNS lookups themselfes. But I was told this is then a job for
"special gateways" and "solution" would be to add headers for evaluation
by the MUAs that would be removed for security reasons at the receiving
MTA for incoming eMails.
Funny thing is that

clearly shows MUAs and the user interface (and the users behind) are
simply to dumb to get things halfway right ... and SenderId will not
change a thing with that regard.
