Third we need to promote the idea that you should not look for the existence or even the validity of a DKIM header as being as important as the domain that is claiming responsibility. If you can't correlate the domain to some form of additional information you should ignore the record entirely.

That's generally true in a simplistic spam / not spam decision. If you're making a forged / not forged decision, the record is still useful.

This has nothing to do with naive Bayes, but everything to do with naive mail administrators looking for simple binary spam / not spam criteria.
