[ietf-dkim] Improtant legal precedent

2006-04-13 13:09:14
One of the first precedents on email signatures
 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/12/email_sigs_legal/
 
Reading the article it appears that a DKIM signature added by the
infrastructure would not constitute a signature for the purposes of making a
contract. A DKIM signature added at the client would only count if there was
an afirmative signature action, e.g using PGP, S/MIME or adding a name to
the bottom of the email
