The term "responsible for the message" gives the impression of
authorship. How about "accountable for permitting the submission of
the message (by an unknown author)"?
I agree. "accountable" is a better term.
Using the term "who is responsible for" should not be used to avoid
confusion with the message's author. Be explicit about roles. The
benefit of DKIM is that the validating agent can verify the domain
accountable for permitting the submission of the message beyond the
immediate server.
Your definition is better as it avoids the confusion with roles such
as sender or author.
