I read recently that that's a Bad Thing (and I'm leaning on agreeing):

Sure, you can justify it with CAN-SPAM mentality (you're required to
facilitate one transaction for the opt-out, etc), but it's an
interesting point nonetheless.

I had (once upon a time) though about implementing a system where it
uses a series of fail-overs, so e.g. try DKIM, then SPF, then SAV
(Sender Address Verify, a.k.a. Sender callouts, a.k.a.
SMTP-callbacks).  This means that SAV would not be used for any domain
that already has DKIM or SPF.  Since I also have greylisting in front
of all of that, that would make the invasive SAV calls far more rare
and targeted mostly at legit senders rather than forged ones.

Thoughts?
