Being unauthenticated as a default certainly doesn't jive with modern security practices.

SMTP is the protocol that's used to route email between servers. How is Fastmail supposed to authenticate with Gmail or Yahoo with Hotmail? Better yet, how is a new mail server in the internet supposed to authenticate with all existing mail servers? Really, authentication for all uses of SMTP doesn't make sense.

If only there were infrastructure and standards for asserting ownership over domain names.

Do you really want to put the power to block mails into DNSSEC the PKI operators?
