No, they're still fighting over an effective sender rewriting scheme.

Personally, as a first step I'd rather see something along the lines of
Marking MTAs in Reverse DNS
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-stumpf-dns-mtamark-01.txt

It  has  none  of  the  emotional and technical baggage about forwarding
issues.  It simply answers one question, is this IP address permitted to
act as an MTA.

It's  a  simple  test that would eliminate the vast majority of hijacked
machines and throwaway DSL accounts.
