Sorry, I wasn't clear.  I was calling this list out as behaving very
well, compared to most.  If I were trying to build a system that
recognized mailing lists and applied trust metrics, having the DKIM
signature pass and include the list-id header would be probably
increase my confidence that it was real list mail.  Keep a list of the
public suffix of the list-id + the DKIM d=, and you have a pretty
reliable way to validate list mails.

However, this is list also seems to be setup slightly incorrectly.  It
is adding its own DKIM signature, but also leaving the any existing
one in place.  So there are two DKIM-Signature headers on most mails;
one which passes and one which does not.

Thanks,
Peter
