Let me be the devil himself:


Since there is no semantic defined for being a sender, 
since we tend to confuse sending MTA, envelope sender, 
forwarder, mailing list, and all such things, 

we don't care at all who is the sender. All this is about
is to find the name of a domain who is willing to cover
the mail transport with a LMAP entry matching the IP address
and which we can hold reliable in case the message turns out
to be fraud. We don't care who is the sender. We won't to know 
who we can blame in case we need one to blame.
