Hey, wait a minute -- isn't that what lists already do?

The discussion was whether the DKIM signature itself can serve as a
basis for acceptance.  In other words, can a DKIM signature safely
accrue a reputation?

If the answer isn't yes, I think we're wasting our time.

A best practice where all DKIM recipients immediately overlay incoming
signature with a signature assigned the role of MDA by the MDA that
would not be accepted by any other MDA would ensure messages available
for replay could be contained.

Even assuming that one thinks replay is a problem that DKIM needs to
address, which I don't, it's hard to imagine a rule like this being
implemented widely enough to be a problem for bad guys.

R's,
John
