[ietf-dkim] SSP-01 Intro's definition of forgery a bit imprecise

2007-11-09 17:47:07
Introduction:

,--
| ... However, some domains may choose to sign all of their
| outgoing mail, for example, to protect their brand name.  It is
| highly desirable for such domains to be able to advertise that fact
| to verifiers, and that messages claiming to be from them that do not
| have a valid signature are likely to be forgeries.  This is the topic
| for sender signing practices.
'--

This statement overlooks messages forwarded by mailing-lists and the like where a signature might become invalid.

Perhaps change "claiming to be from them" to "claiming to be directly from them".
