Ideally, green-bar displayed emails (via DKIM and/or DMARC and/or SPF pass) 
would be vouched against domains present in the Recipient's address book. But 
the problem with that would be that (1) it is highly MUA-dependant, therefore 
inconsistent if the users changes MUA, and (2) it assumes users keep a well 
trimmed address book or an address book at all, which in my experience is wrong 
for about 80% of users.

Also, javascript exploits to infect user's address books would become common 
and annoying.

So the solution to the problem, for now, seems to be an custom-made, 
secret-sauce added value offering that ESP give to their users.
