Really? Where? I'd like to know what they are and where.
There are a few thousand people and more computers than you can shake a stick at located at Fort Meade for just this purpose.
The problem comes when the recipient tries to validate your origin address against your secure mail server.
Well, if you use TLSSMTP, I would think that would be resolved during the connection, by the authentication of the key.
Who says the recipient's mail server has TLS capability? It's really the same problem as what happens when joe () aol com wants to send email with his personal origin address from his work machine which has nothing to do with the AOL network. Except it's a bit harder to solve because in the AOL case, AOL could just offer some solution. The problem occurs when I have an @aol.com email address but don't trust AOL to handle my outbound email. Again, though, it's reasonable to say, "If you don't trust AOL to handle your outbound email, then don't use an @aol.com address. You have to trust them for inbound anyway." DS
