Re: [ietf-dkim] list expanders (was Re: chained signatures, was l= summary)

Hmmm, could you send me a copy offlist? It appears that my edge device 
roundfiled that message
In any case,
I receive mail from an author called ietf-dkim(_at_)mipassoc(_dot_)org(_dot_) 
It appears to be a compilation of interesting conversations, some more 
interesting than others. I am not really concerned about how ietf-dkim gathers 
information to author these missives. That would only be a concern of the 
author, not me as a consumer.
Thanks,
Bill

There's more than one list admin.  The subject matter is
technical.  The issue is not whether the list admin is
careless.  There are a lot of mailing lists administered by part time
administrators.  If we start playing the blame game, it will work
against DKIM.

And every list will be diferent, so we need to look at real examples. And
by a strange coincidence, we have just seen a concrete example on a list
well-known to all of us. Here it is, including all headers that appear
relevant, so let us now discuss how the list manager handled this
particular case, and whether he has left enough evidence for us to work
out how this evident spam got onto the list, and whether he could have
done things any differently.

Some observations:
1. The list manager has altered the message beyond what might have been
rescued by any l= tag.
2. Nevertheless, it would seem that the original message could have been
recovered sufficiently to check the original signature (had it been
preserved), without too much difficulty.
3. The X-Greylist headers are "interesting".

Hi ietf-dkim(_at_)mipassoc(_dot_)org,

I set up a Facebook profile where I can post my pictures, videos and
events and I want to add you as a friend so you can see it. First, you
need to join Facebook! Once you join, you can also create your own profile.
