That's an OK answer for me, because it gives a realistic view of what the next couple of years hold, and indicates that fully solving the user-database issue is a major task. Thanks. So because of our local need for a simple sender-based authentication scheme, I should probably aim for something small, easy and local simply to get us through the next year or two, while fully aware that we might have to do a (possibly significant) transition job further down the road.
