I am imperfectly signing messages with DKIM that I am sending via my home machine on a dhcp address purported to be from bill.oxley.home.com a vanity non existent domain. According to DKIM that message is to be treated as unsigned, why do you wish to drop it? Thanks, Bill Oxley

But I want more than a "belief" that a check will be done. It must be made abundantly clear that a check MUST be done. I do not mind if the exact details of the check are left open, just so long as verifiers NEVER let through a message with an Author Domain that does not exist. -- Charles H.
