I still don't get why it's ok for John Levine to publish a list which
says that it's ok to discard unsigned mail from paypal.com, but st00pid
for paypal.com to publish the same thing. That is the essence of his
jihad against adsp.

In the context of VBR, it's the same programming logic as him (or anyone) 
vouching for a particular domain as having trustworthy transactional or other 
mail.  He's just asserting ADSP on someone else's behalf in this case.

You can choose to trust his assertions (by querying his list on verification 
failures) or ignore them (by not querying him in the first place).  At least 
that's the theory, I believe.
