Yeah, but that means a breaking change to the mail protocol.

Will. Not. Happen.

Heck, they invented a way to check that the source mail server is 
authorised to send mail, and large ISPs manage to screw that up.

(When receiving mail, you're supposed to look up the domain of the 
source server and check for an authorisation record in the DNS. 
Apparently some doofus thought it would be a good idea to also check the 
domain OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS - despite the RFC explicitly saying that you 
must not do this...)
