I send lots of mail from other places using my work e-mail address as from-address. When sending mail from home I use my home mail server to relay mail out, i other cases I have to use ISP mail servers because of firewalling. I often BCC my mails to my work e-mail so I get a copy of the messages I sent there. To me, mail with the same sender and rcpt is completely normal and very common, and they will have been routed through one or more other mailservers. Even for mail that I don't BCC to myself, there's a fair chance that I'll have CC'd one or more recipients in the same domain as myself and those would also be covered by your required auth. If Davide ever implements this, it has to be a non-default option.
