DKIM can suppress the acceptance of forged mail, but it doesn't address 
the backscatter problem (unless the bounces are themselves DKIM-signed, 
or the sending domain claims they're supposed to be).

A different technology called BATV exists which attempts to mitigate 
backscatter.  We've also produced a filter which uses it, available at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/batv-milter.
