The 'l' tag is supported by Mail::DKIM, but not by the signing
code in amavisd (the verification side does support it).

Support for supplying the 'l' tag on signing is not provided
intentionally. It is a very much deprecated feature in DKIM,
kept only because it is hard to drop some feature in a RFC
once it has been published.

A message signed with a 'l' offers a goldmine for black hats, as
they can take the message (e.g. when posted to some mailing list),
append whatever junk they want, and dispatch it in quantities
throught their spamming channels - and each modified message
would still carry a valid signature from an original poster.
It goes very much against the very purpose of DKIM.
Don't use it. It can cause more harm than is worth.
