[ietf-dkim] What's a replay?

2005-08-08 15:37:49
Forgive me my ignorance, but I don't understand what's meant by a replay.

There are three things that I think of as a replay. None of them are affected by features like "user-level" keying. Furthermore, none of them are to me distinguishable from a forwarder (like .forward).

So, obviously, I'm missing something. Can we simplify this down to a short description of what a replay is. Quick little scenario.

For example, here's one thing that I could envision being called a replay:

Advertiser.com sends a legitimate mail to Alice. Alice takes that mail and sends it to 50 million of her closest friends. These 50 million people get angry at advertiser.com.

What else? What's a replay?
