DKIM makes no statement about the validity of a "sender" address.

I guess I should have said Author address.
In practice, if I look at mail with yahoo.com author addresses for example,
I find that with DKIM yahoo.com signatures, they're about a million times

that yahoo.com forbid forgery, but they may find that their mail stream
reputation improves if they take measures to prevent forgery.
