Thanks for that.

I do not remember that anyone did demonstrate that. 

On the contrary, RMX solved a major problem in contrast to the current
SenderID proposal.  Many people, including myself, do receive
significant more false bounce messages and spam complaints than 
spam messages, because spammers abuse my e-mail address or domain. 
Therefore RMX was designed to verify the envelope sender and it
does that job.

In contrast, SenderID does not solve that problem. Guess why.
