body: A sensible refinement here is surely that we shouldn't accept traffic from a server unless we can also route back to it... or find its public key (at least at the point where it first makes contact)

body: |-
When we start authenticating federation traffic servers running on "localhost" won't be able to supply the verification key to remote servers.
They will still be able to provide the verification key to local servers.
As a result remote servers will reject all their federation traffic. Local servers will accept their federation traffic.

body: Now that SYN-75 is complete it should be impossible for a server to accept traffic from a server that it cannot route back to to find its public key.
