You worked on Domainkeys?

When Yahoo asked me to be one of their outside reviewers, for their initial 
work, I don't recall your being involved.

This was considerably before there was the first, direct effort to bring things 
to the IETF.

Domainkeys and IIM were convergent evolution. IIM was actually published first. 
I produced the first DKIM implementation followed by Murray a day or two later.
DomainKeys and IIM both preceded IETF’s DKIM effort and neither of them is 
DKIM. The semantics and motivation behind a DKIM signature were determined by 
IETF consensus when it was standardized, and isn’t necessarily what the 
semantics and motivation behind a DomainKeys or IIM signature were.

Yes, but it doesn't take away from Murray and me be all excited about after what we accomplished at my dinner table that day. It was truly a magical piece of protocol agreement when we debugged it. Murray understood the DK canonicalization fws better than me, I understood the new tags. A highlight of my life :)
