Very good point; thanks for discerning the difference. At its core, I
think, this is the all-too-common battle between the Platonic Ideal of Email
and the reality.
In this reality, intermediaries change messages. Sounds like a few folks on
this list don't want messages to undergo drastic changes when passing
through intermediaries, and thus are arguing against any attempt to use DKIM
to "legitimize" what they view, Quixotically, as illegitimate behavior. But
DKIM /will/ be applied in situations where intermediaries change messages,
because that is a reality of email today.
Asking people to not violate rfc 2822 and 4871 is not asking for
much. It hurts
nothing to leave trace headers in the message. Nobody's asking that
intermediaries
cease doing what they do today. That's a strawman.
You still haven't addressed my message citing the relevant rfc's on
why what you're
suggesting is wrong after asking me directly.
