RE: [ietf-dkim] Replay isn't the problem, spam is the problem

Doug has offered the only scenario so far of a replay attack, 
which is very helpful to figuring out what the threat is.  
His scenario boils down to one of a domain's users being a 
spammer, which would be a problem whether or not his spam was 
being remailed.

This attack is only relevant for public mail providers.

If an email sent from verisign.com is bulk mailed in a replay attack
then VeriSign should be held accountable.

Only a small number of domains actually offer open email service without
close accountability. Employers, educational institutions, personal
identity domains all ensure close accountability.
