Oh, in fact it's pretty simple.  Just have the "downstream" (to-be-

The upstream MTA then includes the one-time password when sending its
configuration mail to the downstream MTA, which can then verify that it
is really the user who authorized the white-listing of the upstream
MTA.

I think you and I have different definitions of simple.

Now I have some basis to believe you aren't lying about who you are, but
I don't see how that translates into I believe you when you promise you
already checked SPF and I needn't bother?

I think this needs reputation and/or accreditation to work.  Not simple.

Remember that we're (or at least, I am) talking just about automating the 
white-listing of one's own forwarders.  If you say you don't trust them to 
be doing SPF checks when they say they are, then that's a problem that the 
market will have to solve.  Don't use a forwarding service you don't 
trust.  After all, they could do _anything_ with your personal mail...
