Given that SMTP is a relay system, would the first US-soil SMTP gateway machine a message travels through be its legal "sender" (in the way that e.g. the importer of a foreign medical device is liable if it's not FDA-approved)? One would think this would legally force those gateways, when handling foreign-originated spam, to slap their own address on them with their own unsubscribe link, that would—if clicked—then block those messages from coming through that gateway.

Mail is not actually sent over a series of SMTP relays, though. It's basically routed directly to the MX SMTP server for the domain.

Except in some corporate intranet setups, but that's not really relevant for this discussion.
