If, when sending to ietf@xxxxxxxx, taugh.com knew that it was a mailing list,
then it could include, in the message, a signed delegation saying that it was
okay for *this message* for ietf.org to impersonate him.

This is a simple application of cryptographic methods.  Keynote and SPKI
(and I think SASL) define ways to do this.
