Good question.
While email reputation has managed to retain a semblance of email
functionality, this often results in more than 90% of the email stream
being refused. These refusals are often based upon the reputation of
the IP address used by SMTP clients.
DKIM offers an opportunity to leverage names as a mechanism for
acceptance and to authorize third-party domains that might act on behalf
of the Author Domain without formal arrangements. The authorization
could be done in a safe and economical manner to allow Author Domains a
means to benefit from the other domains reputation and services, and to
better ensure messages are accepted.
+1.
However, I think the answer is Dave is seeking is evidence of problems
which in his mind because RFC 5617 is only a standard by name and not
supported by anyone, there is no problem. I guess that is only
possible if indeed RFC 5617 will never be used by anyone.
