You can do that today, in several ways.

If you have control over the DNS for foo.examplemy.client.com then
you can sign mail with that token. If you don't have control over
it, but the owner of that wants you to sign on their behalf then
they can give you a private key for signing, or delegate a subtree
inside that space ( cox._domainkey.foo.examplemyclient.com)
to you, so you can handle the key management.

And you can sign the message twice, once as cox.com, once
as the customer domain, pretty cheaply.

Can you expand on what you'd like to be able to do that's different
from all those?

Cheers,
