When an ISP starts dealing with complaints about the quality of their 
service[1] they will make the obvious operational decision and cease using ADSP 
to discard email.

They might well continue discarding non-DKIM signed mail from some subset of 
ADSP publishers.

I think that's a perfectly reasonable operational result, but I don't think 
it's the one that those signing with ADSP intended.

[1] silently dropping mail that's wanted by the recipients is about the worst 
failure of an email provider, and ADSP is likely to be applied mostly to mail 
that the sender believes is important and wanted by recipients, as if the mail 
itself didn't have perceived high value then phishes based on it wouldn't be of 
high value either.
