May be stupid question: Would these stats help to build a reputation on the 
domain?

Subject: [ietf-dkim] Collecting statistics 




I’ve got as a task for the next major OpenDKIM release a reworking of our 
statistics collection component. This is something that’s off by default; one 
must specifically enable it both at compile time and at run time. 




What I’m considering is a change to the code so that it collects a larger set 
of interesting things instead of just pass/fail counts, which canonicalizations 
are in use, what signing algorithm is in use, whether or not “l=” is in use, 
and the date/time a domain was last seen. Some of the data I’m looking at 
collecting include: 

- On failure, whether or not the “bh” matched (so you can tell whether it was a 
body change or a header change that broke it) 

- On failure, if “z=” was present, record the name of the header(s) that were 
changed 

- Use of g=, t= in keys 

- Use of x=, t=, z=, l= in signatures 

- If l= was used, how often extra data was present 

- Count of times t= was used and contained a future timestamp 

- Count of retrieved key records that contained a syntax error 

- Count of signatures referencing nonexistent keys 

- ADSP statistics 

- Count of third-party signatures 

- Count of messages containing multiple signatures 




For those of you thinking about statistics regarding DKIM, have I missed any 
that might be useful to the working group?
