That's the only sensible approach. When I subscribe to a list, I do so because I want mail from the list, and I have enough confidence that whoever runs the list will take care to manage the traffic and keep the list worth reading. I may bozo filter the occasional contributor, but that's because they're bozos, not because they're forged. Lists have all sorts of way to verify incoming traffic, from return address validation to challenges to manual moderation. That's not going to change, although of course DKIM will be a fine way to improve address validation on incoming mail. I have trouble envisioning a use model that demands that lists pass through incoming signatures. As best I can figure it out, list managers, who have spent the last decade developing ways to keep junk off their lists, will suddenly give up, let the spam gush through unimpeded, and list recipients will have to do all the filtering.
