The g= tag within the key could limit the local-part of the i= value 
found in the signature header, but would not prevent the use of 
subdomains. This would mean that g=noreply would allow:

  [email protected]
  [email protected]
  [email protected]

and even without the g= restriction the key would not allow:

  majorcompany.com
  dept.majorcompany.com
  services.majorcompany.com
