[ietf-dkim] Delegated signatures in real life

2006-08-29 15:28:45
Here's the headers from a message that Doubleclick just sent to my Yahoo account on behalf of Orbitz. Note that the From: address and DK signature are in email.orbitz.com, even though it was sent by Doubleclick from a Doubleclick IP. Yahoo thoughfully displayed a little now saying that the DK signature was good when I looked at the message. I also include the key record, retrieved from Doubleclick's name servers.

Senders already use NS delegation to let third parties put on first party DK signatures. It works. It's popular. There is no need to invent another way to solve this solved problem.
