NAK, that's far from common, from four mail providers I used to know only one enforced submission rights (=> good reverse path, arbitrary header), and another - putting it mildly - implemented his own vision of 4409 8.1 (=> good reverse path with enforced matching 2822-From), offering the more common "whatever you say" for a small monthly fee (maybe to sponsor their abuse desk). The third doesn't care what I say after I'm authenticated with LOGIN (in the clear, their TLS is optional), and the fourth also doesn't care (pure RADIUS), but runs now a spam check on outbound mail. BTW, I'm looking for interested folks helping to fix RFC 4409 8.1, and then push a derived 4409bis to STD (see rfc822 list).
