Here's a simple mechanism which has not yet been tried seriously. Email server peering.
All this stuff you're describing [almost] exactly matches the former UUCP-based e-mail distribution mechanism.
A lot of this dubious technical garbage can be swept aside if we simply recognize that the flat structure of a completely open SMTP service is not scalable.
But we already found that the UUCP system didn't scale because its management load was way too high. That's why RFC821 exists! We aren't rolling back the clock now -- the e-mail infrastructure is far too large to do that.
