-1, I agree we don't know all the ways DKIM can be fooled. Neither we actually saw real attacks in the wild. We don't even state how to react to multiple Froms. Presumably, the wider the DKIM deployment, the more we'll learn on handling attacks. However, hiding the few things we know doesn't seem to be a good start toward such watchful cooperative deployment. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
