(DKIM And Mailing Lists) to BCP

But its not directly related to MAIL - its for scheduling automatic
jobs, and the above case "Often Periodic."  That has nothing to do
with mail per see or the Mail AUTHOR as the MLM I-D sentence implies:

     The author can be a human using an MUA (Mail
     User Agent) or a common system utility such as "cron", etc.

"cron" sends mail, if the periodic job it executes has any output, to the user 
that requested the job.  The UNIX "at" utility is the same.

The job it executes might also send mail of its own accord.

In both cases, there's mail generated by a non-human author.

This is not correct. The author is not a "common system utility" or
anything close to the scheduling tool unless you are saying the
RFC5322 author is also the OS logged in username which "cron" uses as
a default as an environment variable for any mail scripting events.

Precisely.
