    My understanding is an attack where the email is sent to an outside

    Signing an email that you know is bad does indeed sound like a bad
    idea.


There's always some time window between a spammer discovering a new technique that gets past filters and those filters learning about the new attack via whatever ML is in use. That might be when this attack is most effective. You can't label as spam that which you don't identify as spam.

So, when the filters catch up, it will then mark it as spam again regardless of the DKIM signature.

So what exactly is the problem here?
