How does the post office do it? It receives mail from other countries and determines what kind of stamps official franking etc to either deliver or return to sender unopened. Part of that is a balance of payment schedule but I imagine it is a mutual bi-lateral agreement that determines this. A ruthless prosecution of people who purport to send legitimately franked mail is also part of the solution. DKIM is an electronic stamp, SSP (to me) appears to be the franking system. A bi-lateral agreement that implementers can agree that if the stamps and the franks are okay, mail will be deemed semi acceptable except for checking for criminal (spammish) activities.

That's a reasonable concern. The fog around SSP is so opaque that I'm really wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to punt and wait for people to do enough experiments to understand what turns out to be useful. The first open question is when a receipient would check a sender's SSP. It seems pretty clear that if a message is self-signed, there's no need to check, and if it's completely unsigned you do want to check. But what if it's signed by a third party you trust? (That's the mailing list scenario.) If a message is signed both by you and by someone else I see no reason to treat that as anything other than a self-signed message, but some people disagree for reasons that remain unclear. Assuming we can work that out, I hear reasonable unanimity on "I send no mail", that is, if you get an unsigned message purporting to be from me, it's a fake so throw it away. I hear considerably less consensus on "I do send mail but throw it away if it's not signed." There's some sentiment for "if foo signs it, then it's OK" although then we get into arguments about delegating signing keys and the like. I hear no consensus at all about anything else. There are lots of other true things one could say about one's outgoing mail, but surprisingly little that's useful to recipients. A spec with 1 2/3 bits of data doesn't impress me as worth writing.
