I receive a dkim signed mail from mipassoc.org with a dkim sig that
resolves correctly but the domain mtcc.com is in the from address and
they purport to sign all mail, the only dkim sig is from mipassoc.org.
Since this mail has passed my blacklists I would then process the mail
with my suspicious mail. It will get thru unless it appears to be
obviously spam.
I could also put this list in my personal whitelist. Lists may slowdown
with DKIM but I don't think they will completely stop.

Of course they do. I run majordomo2, I like it just the way it is,
and I
expect to run its output through my MTA that puts my domain's
signature on
all its outgoing mail. How exactly do you propose to make me do
something
else? (Hint: RFCs are suggestions, not commands.) What will happen
to me
if I don't?
If you don't care whether your subscribers get their mail, nothing.
If you do, then maybe you'll start listening rather than sneering.
The object here is to reach an accommodation between these two
competing
needs. But if I had to say who ought to lose push come to shove, it
would be mailing list software that insists on changing my original
content and then trying to pass it off as if I wrote it.
Putting on my list owner hat, I would point out that if you don't like
what a list does to your mail, you are free not to send mail to it. I
would be amazed if any list operators felt otherwise.
Putting on my domain's receiver hat on, you are perfectly
at liberty to send into my black hole. You are a very small
and inconsequential domain. Do you really think that I'm going
to care about your whinging as you hit the event horizon?
People are in denial if they think that mangling mailing lists
are anything other than inconsequential noise, and a fine candidate
for collateral damage if that's the easier/safer path.
