Should DKIM transit a mailing list?
if a message arrives at a list manager the author/sender theoretically should
be a pre-qualified by whatever means used to be a member of that list. Any
recipient that has subscribed to that list has a reasonable expectation that
any message addressed to the list would be interesting. With that in mind all
signatures should be discarded, resigned by the dkim aware mailing list then
forwarded on as if it is a "new" mail message. Now whether a dkim aware mailing
list should follow adsp practices is worth discussing.
thanks,

I'm a fan of getting the mix and balance of documents right. Extra documents
are a hassle, but a single document that mixes agendas is too. I was a bit
surprised to make the suggestion that this doc get split.
1. Are there different topics? If so, what are they and which should be
pursued? The working groups needs to comment on this.
I think I saw 3 different topics, and that there has already been a bit
of
discussion about this. The topics are:
a. Handling DKIM messages transiting a Mailing List Manager
b. Trust-based enhancements for Mailing List Managers based on DKIM
c. Best practices for Mailing List Managers
The first is/was the official goal of the current work.
The latter two have emerged. Neither is formally within scope of the working
group, although b. is a natural addition. Note, however, that it is formal
protocol specification work and we need to worry about adoption first -- who
needs to adopt it and why do we think they will?
c. is not reasonably in scope; I do not see any way to justify it within this
working group, in spite of there having been some good discussion.
2. If a split is appropriate, how should the existing content be divided?
I vote for letting Murray handle this. (You're welcome, Murray.)
So, the first question is intended to get some working group consensus,
before
Murray puts in the effort of dividing things up.
