I would appreciate you describing in detail this "collateral damage". If
it involves discarding of mail from the domain in question then it is
not collateral. What else do you have for us?

It's collateral to the extent that one's users complain about not getting 
perfectly good mail.  "Your friend's mail admins glorp plugh ADSP grungle 
bleep" isn't a very satisfactory response to users.  Pointing to 
legalistic language in some web page with a three letter acronym won't 
help.

There's also the problems that have been noted with people bouncing off 
mailing lists.  Yes, in that case both ends are doing the wrong thing, but 
if either did the right thing and forgot about ADSP we wouldn't have the 
problem.

The sooner we stop wasting time trying to fix ADSP and start getting 
shared drop lists, the sooner there's some hope of using DKIM to keep 
simple forgeries out of peoples' inboxes.

R's,
John
