That I am not sure on. So the idea would be that before writing a message to user A's inbox relay, user B would need to use AUTH to sign a challenge, and as long as the signature matched someone within user A's web-of-trust (or other filter criteria) the relay would accept any message sent to it through the same connection, even though the message itself has no indication of the identity of the sender?
That could work, I think... Admittedly, I don't know a lot about how exactly AUTH works.
