It was that concern that brought my 1 horse email server to DMARC & SPF. I think eventually ARC. I was little surprised in watching the ARC conversation because it was my thinking that ARC was going to provide a way mid-email delivery for the receiving mail server to check the validity of the email with the sending server. I though the sending server would keep track of what it sent and any receiver could check the validity. I thought that we have finally reached the point where tracking every legitimate email was easier then weeding through all the crap.
