Re: [ietf-dkim] On the Selector

2009-05-25 16:31:08
Using the selector as input to a reputation process is a serious mistake.  It 
is 
discussed briefly in the Overview, which was just approved by the IESG:

    <http://dkim.org/specs/draft-ietf-dkim-overview-11.html#rfc.section.4.3>

Basing assessment on a value that includes the selector destroys the ability to 
use the selector for key management.

Hi,

I see some ESP are using the selector to do domain reputation. We used 
to have a reputation based on the IP, but with DKIM based reputation, it 
is more difficult to have a granular reputation, therefore the use of 
the selector to differentiate emails.

Is the use of the selector for this purpose codified somewhere?
