Doug,

That was agreed to be closed on the jabber session.

No-one spoke against that, so please consider this closed/rejected.

(Eliot - you can close it now, thanks.)

Stephen.

There was some agreement on the list regarding considerations pertaining to who should receive the abuse feedback enabled by the DKIM signature.

When a designation scheme is considered, then this feedback consideration becomes far more significant. Some assume the signing domain will accrue a reputation for unsolicited commercial email, but this overlooks limitations in the DKIM protocol making such accountability impossible.

While DKIM may provide a means for accruing a list of domains that either do or do not phish, it does not provide a means for accruing a lists of domains that do or do not send unsolicited commercial email. As a result, accrual of reputation for general acceptance will continue to be done by the IP address of the SMTP client. This consideration significantly alters assumptions regarding which domain should be signing the messages, and what role domain designation might play.
