What about email coming from remailer addresses? It could be used 
as an authentication for getting the file (in an autoreply).

Ideally it should support the same format as mixmaster's .blk, I guess,
but it would also add some security issues so I'm not sure it's worth
the risk.

Accepting addition from remailers addresses would facilitate adoption
because a cron job would suffice. The signing process require human
interaction.
