How to integrate SPF and DKIM is an interesting question that I think
would
be good for spf-discuss.

      Though I don't monitor that list I'll cc there, and probably
follow ups should go there.  Turns out they are basically separate, from
a sending point of view.  Frustratingly though, Yahoo! (the founder of
DomainKeys) only supports DomainKeys and not DKIM, and one can't sign a
message with both of those without excluding the other from the
protected headers (otherwise whichever is second "tampers with" the
headers of the outbound message).  Anyway this isn't a DK list, but from
an SPF standpoint, SPF is a DNS-only solution, and DomainKeys/DKIM is a
sending-server solution that uses DNS, and they can co-exist just fine.

The part I find intruiging is that DKIM signatures survive forwarding where 
SPF has trouble.  I'd like to be able to leverage that.

You can sign DK/DKIM both, although I don't bother.  I just do DKIM.  It's 
my understanding that Yahoo! is going to switch to DKIM 'any day now'.

P.S. Dropped spf-help since it's OT there, but to Steve directly since he's 
not subscribed to spf-discuss.
