There are a number of things worth mentioning about what's on this page:

- the broken dkim-filter implementation that refused to sign signed 
messages was this one, but that was fixed in 2.3.0 (October of last year)

- the recommended (by the DKIM working group at IETF) practise would, I 
believe, be to have either Mailman or the MTA to which Mailman hands its 
work re-sign the message before sending it on its way; if only there were 
an open-source tool to do such a thing... ;)

- they do say the latter in their "Proposal" section

- they talk about wishing there were some kind of DKIM validity status 
header, but they don't seem to reference Authentication-Results: which has 
been around for quite a while now

- I don't understand the point about a distinction between verifiers and 
policy agents; in what circumstance would they not, operationally, be the 
same thing?

Awful lot to read here.  I'll re-post here if I have anything that needs 
saying once I'm done.  :-)
