Authentication + reputation of single monolithic senders (d=) - yes, valuable. Reputation model that can be slightly more fine grained (i=good.aol.com, bad.aol.com, ugly.aol.com) - yes valuable. And do you forget that receivers are senders too? My users send lots of email to AOL / Yahoo, and their users to me. DKIM is valuable. d= is valuable. As for i= - well, its quite useful to the sending side. --srs _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
