This needs to include an update to RFC2821, making some form of sender
rewriting a MUST -- or at least a SHOULD. You can't move on until that's
done, IMO.
You will not get large-scale deployments of sender rewriting until you make
it dummy-proof. I can't tell you how often I get large ISPs writing me in
private e-mail to figure out how we did something .. where we just followed
the instructions.
Like SMTP AUTH. They are dozens if not hundreds of people out there that
have determined that SMTP AUTH doesn't work because they haven't got a clue
and can't make it work. We've been using it for nearly 4 years now.
