should not be necessary to start over if you change ISPs or outbound
marketing providers.
This is how I'm thinking, as well...if senders try to piggyback on
somebody else's reputation, I'm likely to ignore that and use other
criteria to determine the overall reputation of the message.
The desire from some of the bulk senders & 3rd party reputation vendors
appears to be to allow a sender to say "go ask [vendor], they'll tell
you how good I am." This is not, however, something that receivers of
that mail would necessarily want.
And just from a general cleanliness perspective, I'd rather keep all
reputation decisions out of the signing/verifying process.
