This is INEFFECTIVE

"Also, it does not do anything to flag junk e-mail sent by a legitimate company, or identify spam sent from a domain name with a true DomainKeys record."

And with that revelation, you come to realize this won't solve anything.

Also, in the phishing example, how would this protect someone from receiving a phishing email that has been sent from an email provider (Yahoo, Earthlink, etc) that has a legitimate DomainKeys signature? Does it really help the recipient to know that their email requesting their credentials to XYZ bank came from a legitimate Yahoo or Earthlink account? Probably not, unless the legitimate sender's identity is prominently displayed upon receipt.

This "solution" doesn't seem to address enough of the current issues to make it worthwhile.
