Re: [ietf-dkim] A record for _domainkey.$DOMAIN?

2008-10-06 11:37:11
Surveying the deployment of DKIM in the ".fr" top-level domain, I
notice the vast majority of domains with a _domainkey subdomain have a
A record for the subdomain (check jeunes-sapeurs-pompiers.fr or
journeedelentrepreneur.fr).

I do not think it is legitimate but I may miss something. Any
reasonable use of such a record?

Those aren't _domainkey records -- they're just wildcards.

R's,
John
