Are you sure you're not confusing this with SpamAssassin expecting 'From_' lines in /var/spool/mail-format mailboxes (see RFC-976)?

That is what I'm referring to. And I think I was confused on the plugin as well. Now that I think about it I think it was clamav plugin. If it didn't receive the From_ header first then it didn't process it as a mail message and pull the attachments apart correctly. If it didn't pull it apart correctly then it would detect the virus that was attached.

Uh. That's a bug, not a feature.

For example, the message I am replying to (your message) had 16 other headers before the From: line in it. Two of them were between the DKIM signature and the From: header....

Right and if you look at the h= part of my dkim sig then if any MTA inserted/changed any of the listed headers below that DKIM line then the sig would fail.

Hmm.
Your h= part looks like this: h=received:from:subject:date:message-id

There is an issue here when posting to a mailing list: ezmlm will remove *your* Received: line (the one you signed) regardless of where in the header it is. So the signature will be invalid. I'm not sure Received: headers are good candidates for signing.

Mailing list managers shouldn't munge Subject: - but they might...
