I think this leads to an infinite regress. AOL and Yahoo have a real problem: crooks broke in and stole people's address books, and are now sending spam from AOL and Yahoo addresses to recipients in the users' own address books. Spammers are not totally stupid, and if is a flavor of DMARC they could bypass with a List-ID, they'll add a List-ID. Even worse, since the volume of spam is vastly greater than the volume of legitimate mail, most mail with List-ID would be spam, and it would perversely become a fairly good spam indicator. If you've seen the X-Anti-Abuse header added by web hosting control panels, it's suffered the same fate since spammers have figured out how easy it is to break into dusty blog and CMS sites and spam from them. The basic problem here is that anything a list can do to say "I am a list", a spammer can do, too. You can only make credible assertions to decrease the reputation of your mail, e.g. SPF's if it's not one of these IPs, it probably isn't me, or to say "this is really from me", so people can apply whatever opinion they already have of you. The permission to forward hack is a little different since it's not the list making the assertion, it's the list in combination with the original sender, applicable to one specific address via one forwarder for a limited time.
