John, the opendkim project gathers information from various sources,
they're not necessarily the users of Murray and they're not necessarily

inbound mail is from legitimate sources and which inbound mail is from

to abuse l= in DKIM...
   

Good luck with spammers trying abuse that. A naive filter wouldn't
know at all about l= but are well acquainted with spammers inserting
good looking text with spammy text. A dkim aware filter would be even
less impressed as the unsigned content would stick out like a sore
thumb. For all of the hysterical warnings in the spec, it would be
nice to hear about even ONE successful abuse. It's been, what, 5
years now?
