I think that that will depend entirely on the way the SSP record is defined, 
much like the constraints on rfc2821.From values that are being discussed.

So, yeah, if the SSP associated with the MailFrom says "rfc2821.MailFrom" must 
match a DKIM signature, or somesuch, then a mailing list that inserts its own 
MailFrom, without adding its own signature, could break bounces.
