Re: [ietf-dkim] A more fundamental SSP axiom

I cannot see how SSP can do anything but make false positives more likely. The real question is whether the gain in eliminating harmful mail is worth the occassional false positive. So if what you are saying is true, law firms would be literally nuts to turn SSP "I sign everything" on, and so I'm surprised to hear that you think they should.

At the moment, I agree with you. Considering the value of the messages, I'm surprised we don't see more fake mail saying that a case has been dismissed or a hearing postponed. If that happened, the answer might be different.
