In fact the only thing that dkim is bringing with certainty, is that you can

But you shouldn't do this (send replies), for multiple reasons.  First,
at a strategic level, anything that generates still *more* mail traffic
when we already have way too much seems like a bad idea.  (This is one
of many problems with C/R and SAV s well.)  And at a tactical level,
what would be the point?  There's no way to know that such a reply will
ever be seen by the end user whose system has been zombied, and even if
they *do* see it, it's very unlikely they'll understand it, believe it,
and take effective action.
