SenderKeysTM is a specification, proposed by AccuSpamTM, for
deploying, adding,
and verifying digital signatures in e-mail headers to prevent forgery of
existent "From:" addresses.

SenderKeysTM overcomes the following major limitations of the
existing major
three anti-forgery proposals, DomainKeys from Yahoo, SenderID
(aka CallerID)
from Microsoft, and SPF (+SRS) from Pobox.com...

I would recommend that you add a warning to your site that when:

"AccuSpamTM detects spammers who are hiding their identity by sending an
auto-response email to senders who are not on your "Approved Senders" list,
in order to detect undeliverable and forged email addresses."

and sends e-mail to people who have not contacted your customers (because
the mail-from was forged) they stand a good chance to get reported as
spammers and have their accounts cancelled or their servers blacklisted.

Now it your wanted to use SPF to see if the mail-from was forged before you
sent out your challenge and reply, then you might be on to something...
