I don't think there is a consensus on what a 3rd party signature is.
Oh, I disagree. As someone (Ian?) pointed out, there's some long-
established common use about what the term "third-party" means, and I
don't think we need to establish rough consensus on something like
that.
For a message (not even specifically email) from A to B via C, A is
the
first party, B is the second party, C is the third party.
The first several definitions I found via a simple Google search
concurred.
Let's not waste time on this.
I think the only difference is the one that Steve pointed out and I know
but didn't state accurately due to lack of sleep (2 hours last night).
Domain owners may choose to sign with a signature with a d= different
than the domain in the rfc5321 From. That would make the domain owner
signature a 3rd party signature for that particular ADSP case rather
than a 1st party signature.
