It's more subtle than that - you always know the "identity" of the purported
MTA, because you know their IP address.  Whether "purported" is the same as
"legitimate" or "authorized" is a whole different kettle of fish....

Remember - port 25 is widely blocked precisely because there were always a
plenty supply of MTAs whose identity you knew, sending you spam from consumer
living rooms....
