So how will that help the war against spam?

nothing

Will spammers be able to fake the domain?

yes

Will alum.mit.edu get black listed?

probably

The right way to do it would be to provide an authenticating submission service. If they don't do that, they wilol be in the same situation they are in ight now: everybody can fake their domain and nobody can easily (and automatically) detect these fakes.
