On reviewing the working group archive, I have not succeeded in finding

I recall making a point a number of times in the working group, verifying
that the group agreed that SSP applied (only) to unsigned messages.


RFC 5016, section 5.3 requirement #1:

1.  SSP MUST be able to make practices and expectation assertions about the
domain part of a [RFC 2822].From address in the context of DKIM.  SSP will
not make assertions about other addresses for DKIM at this time.

Refs: Problem Scenarios 1 and 2, Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

I just checked and this requirement has been in the requirements since the
very first draft. If you objected, it apparently didn't get much consensus.


That relates to using .From. How does it related to the application of SSP for signed messages, and where is the indication that this implication was understood by the community?
