For a start that sites performing sender verification will partecipate in a DDoS on the mail infrastructure of domains forged by spammers. It's just as simple as this. Sender verification is barely less harmful than C/R schemes and antivirus advertisements^Wnotices. Also, sender verification when seen from the side of the victims is indistinguishable from a dictionary attack, and may cause deliverability issues to the hosts attempting it.
