It would also violate the DKIM specification.

Failed DKIM validation is to be treated as if no signature is present.

This was a carefully discussed topic for the specification and what made it into the final document is there because there are lots of reasons a signature can fail. Hence you cannot reasonable make any assessment of the signer based the signature's failure.

And, yes, I'm merely trying to elaborate on what Steve A. posted.
