I don't see how.  A backup MX is going to keep the same envelope addresses,
so the existing signature is adequate.  And since it's only relaying someone
else's mail, it wouldn't have a signing key for the mail-from domain anyway.

How about if an intermediate systems wants to unwind the changes it made to
avoid leaking info about its downstream recipients?  I suppose it would create
a new DSN since otherwise it'd leak recipient info anyway.
