Whether they like it is separate from whether they'll implement it.

From my reading of the press release, I wouldn't be surprised if
Sendmail added support for DK, CID, SPF, and others as well.

There is no reason for MTA vendors or antispam vendors to choose only
one standard when they can support them all.  DK just happens to be the
first one they've announced.

Maybe they enjoy a special relationship with Yahoo!.  Or maybe they
didn't want to be accused of disrupting forwarding, and wanted to test
the waters with the technology that would be, in theory, most
transparent.  DK isn't that different from SMIME and PGP.

If we can get a C-based Sendmail Milter written, I think they would be
willing to use it.
