Re: [ietf-dkim] A more fundamental SSP axiom

Part of the problem here is the past record of SPF with over-zealous 550 if
there's any hint of bogosity. We, for example, would be forced to take down
a "we sign everything" policy if that were to happen with DKIM -- even though
we'll be signing everything pretty soon. If there were a qualifier in the "I sign everything policy" that specifically implies that sending a 550 based on a missing DKIM signature alone is extremely bone-headed" then maybe we can both.

I don't see the point. That last suggestion is, to the recipient, the equivalent of a useless "I sign some mail" since you're telling the recipient it's OK to accept some amount of both signed and unsigned mail.
