I think it was the goal of many who participated to reduce spam. That having been said, DKIM by itself cannot reduce spam, and that was always readily apparent. DKIM can be used as one of a number of components to a comprehensive approach to identifying legitimate email. If all of that happens, then the economic incentives for spamming would seem to dwindle. That's a lot of moving parts, of course. All of this having been said, I think Scott Kitterman is right. I still think the standard needs more soak time. But that's me.
