Huh DKIM is for what then? Not sure what it was created for then? Why do we
bother to implement?
Graphs would not change behavior, but would show either what is popular, and if
program to change behavior are succesfull.
I think anyhow we need some data rather than hunches.

Which is interesting, but does not give an idea based on traffic. If
yahoo, hotmail and gmail implements dkim, well it could be more
traffic using dkim than may be a few ISPs...
So I think it is important to base these stats on traffic rahter
than on how many sites have it configured.
For the purpose of this workgroup I think we are looking at
technologies that reduce spam.
DKIM is not intended to reduce spam.
So I guess a graph in time showing how much mail traffic is dkim/dk/
spf(?)/senderid(?) would be interesting. I think making the plot
available would be interesting. I saw with the stop of the recent
botnet, security companies run graph on the number of spams within
the mail system., it would be nice to see the above graph per non-
spam traffic and spam traffic.
For your case you would have to monitor only inbound mail traffic,
as with outbound, it would only tell us what you have implemented on
your MTA.
Not sure I'm fully clear here...
If several big mailing site do that, then it can be aggregated to
get an idea of what's happening.
It would certainly be interesting, but I'm not convinced it
would be particularly useful - as in changing anyones
behaviour.
Cheers,
Steve
