RE: [ietf-dkim] Proposal for specifying syntax and semantics formultiple signatures

Many folks use edge devices that look/act like an mta but is antispam/av 
oriented. Dropping a dkim plugin should be no more dificult that deploying a 
new av engine.
thanx,

And let's please not forget that even if this got fixed tomorrow the amount of

I'm confused. We expect wide-spread use of this protocol without
deploying new MTAs? That's quite the feat.
 

With milter, you don't have to upgrade your sendmail version. For us,
we'd probably have to go through a lot more contortions to get our
infosec folks to buy into a new sendmail version for our production
environment. Not undoable, but definitely harder.

My understanding is that other MTA's have similar plugin kinds of
capabilities too.
