DKIM without SSP can be better than with SSP.  Take out the SSP

I've no doubt that DKIM without SSP would be better for providers of large scale commercial reputation services. It would be pretty useless for me.

DKIM without SSP provides an ability for Name-based white-listing of transports. Name-based white-listing/reputation would not be prone to IP address exploits. Filtering programs would have a verifiable source for a message to permit a significant reduction in related errors. If there was abuse, there would be a verified name for addressing complaints. Why would that be useless for you?

What major benefit do you expect?
