"Sorry, I think what you're looking for isnt useful, you're misinformed" isn't
exactly a useful response when someone,
especially a customer, asks for something, sadly.
So what do you say when they demand 100% inbox placement and the ability
to remotely delete mail they've already sent?
Customers ask for silly things all the time. We say no.

Sounds like a customer deep into cypherpunk silliness.
For one thing, while it was kind of cute that we could still check the
DKIM signatures on old DNC mail (I did) that's only because Gmail
never rotates their keys. The signing key was still in the DNS.
Monthly key rotation like I do should be plenty to avoid that unless
messages are leaking in close to real time, in which case DKIM is the
least of your problems.
The other is that nobody I know found the DKIM validation to be more
than a curiosity. People believed the messages were real because they
knew who used the account and they were otherwise plausible. There was
no cryptographic signature on the Pentagon papers in 1971 but that
doesn't seem to have been any impediment to people taking them
seriously.
