Technical Summary
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an administrative mail
domain (ADMD) to assume some responsibility for a message. Based on
deployment experience with DKIM, this Best Current Practices document
provides guidance for the use of DKIM with scenarios that include
Mailing List Managers (MLMs).
Working Group Summary
There is a significant sense that the only "right" thing to advise
with regard to mailing list managers is that messages forwarded by
the MLM be DKIM-signed, and that verifiers consider the MLM domain's
signature in making their assessments. This is captured in the
document. Notwithstanding that, there is consensus that further
advice, as given in the document, is appropriate and useful.
Document Quality
This document does not define a protocol, but specifies practices
recommended for using DKIM in scenarios that include Mailing List
Managers. The document reflects the best practices at the current
time, in the judgment of the DKIM working group.
Personnel
Barry Leiba is the Document Shepherd.
Sean Turner is the Responsible AD.
RFC Editor Note
This document depends heavily on draft-ietf-dkim-rfc4871bis, and will
be waiting in the editor queue for a reference to it. This document
has references to specific sections in draft-ietf-dkim-rfc4871bis, so
the RFC Editor should process the latter document first, and then make
sure that the section references either haven't changed or are
corrected. The document editor should be particularly careful to
re-check this during AUTH48 (please remind him).
