So, back to my original question. To all you sysadms out there, if you had a switch you could throw that would make your server reject all e-mail that did not contain a digital signature that correctly tied the e-mail message back to its source DNS domain (perhaps through the use of DNSSEC), and if a simple patch was available for your MTA of choice to sign its outgoing mail in such a fashion... would you be willing to throw the switch?

Absolutely. But a harder question is "Would you accept mail from AOL"?
