Re: [ietf-dkim] NO DKIM "POLICY"

I'm a bit confused here (sorry I'm new on the list and I have not read ADSP in 
full) 

Should we not query every time the DNS, to check that this domain will sign 
every message as policy and that a non signed message is therefore invalid? 

In the case of the ebay announcement that all messages will have a DKIM 
signature, how do you implement at the receiving MTA level this verification?

Will a NULL public key do the trick? 

At the moment ADSP doesn't have such a mechanism. It could (and used to) 
but then one issue is that you always have to query for such a record 
instead of only querying when there's no valid author domain signature.
