The idea of the "z" tag is that it's for filtering front ends like
Proofpoint and Mimecast that rewrite URLs and strip attachments. They
would only be doing that to mail sent to recipients who are paying
them to do it.

This does mean that remailing such a message back out won't work with DKIM2 but
I haven't seen a lot of mail like that.  The rewrites tend to appear in replies
or forwards that are new messages so they're OK.

R's,
