It is not incredibly complex; many people have already implemented bits of it.

As I stated, it requires *NO* MUA changes.  All of the work can be done on
the server.  It does require that you relay outgoing mail through the same
server all of the time; that's why we have STARTTLS and SMTP AUTH.

Not at all; see above.

Your server keeps track of everything.
