The concern is rather simple.  DKIM as it currently stands, only
offers per-user-keys as a possible solution to control replay abuse.

I'm having trouble seeing the threat with replay..  Can someone help
differentiate these two scenarios:

1. Replay
2. Sending mail from that domain from within the organisation (Eg. An
employee sending thousands of emails through Outlook)

Is the replayer and rogue employee the only problem in both cases?

If DKIM is supposed to make domain owners responsible for the email from
that domain, should it not be the domain owner preventing replay/abuse,
not DKIM?

Cheers,
Paul
