If you consider that there are only two levels of mail, signed and unsigned, then signing mailing list mail would be the wrong thing to do. If you consider DKIM as a way of authenticating the origin of mail independently of it's value then signing all mail is the right thing to do. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
