But you _did_ send email to him.  Via _this_ mailing list.  How was 
your mail server supposed to know that the IETF mailing server 
forwarded it to him?




I'd argue that the relationship is between the subscriber and the 
mailing list, and that's what ought to be validated. It's up to the 
mailing list to validate what can be sent by it, but the user's 
relationship is with the list, not with all of the users on the list.



True, but you'd not only have to get mailing lists "fixed" first, you'd 
have to change the mailing list standards and the MTAs so that the 
receiving MTA could figure that out...



Given how easy this is to circumvent (plus the difficulties of handling 
TEMPFAIL, and services that simply aren't reachable directly by TCP/IP 
at the best of times), I don't think it's worth going down this hole.
