Shouldn't do that. The internet is dynamic. There is no assurance that
two back-to-back emails willl take the same path to reach a destination.

We already check for posts to come from subscribers only. That achieves
this check partially. Checking for bar.com in the Received headers might
not be an option. What about people who sign up with some free email box
and who download their mailbox into their linux box using fetchmail or
something?

Well. Maybe when pgp becomes easier to use.
