Re: [ietf-dkim] ISSUE 1525 -- Clarification about posting by first Author

Reflection attacks?  How would a few TXT queries make that happen?

It would be the queries themselves I would be worried about. Suppose someone blasts a message to thousands of domains that has many addresses in the From: line. All of sudden all of those domains are under attack.

Considering all of the other ways that an e-mail message can provoke DNS queries, this doesn't strike me as a particularly worrisome issue. How is this any different from a bad guy who puts a bunch of fake DKIM signatures on the message?

R's,
John
