Re: [ietf-dkim] besides mailing lists...

While I personally find F2F usage sort of creepy, from the receiver's 
standpoint it looks
for all intents and purposes like a mailing list, which for all intents and 
purposes looks
like an unsigned piece of mail purporting to be from my domain. Intent seems to 
have very
little to do with this... so maybe these all just fold into the same unsolved 
case.

Any other cases of out-of-sender's control of "legitimate" mail purporting to 
be from their domain?

F2F is a well-established and helpful feature.  That some uses of

authentication cannot cope with it is a limitation of the
authentication-

service, not a flaw in F2F.

And it is easy enough to do "F2F" in a manner that does not break the
authentication-based service.
