I have seen some of these blocks mainly due to a badly configured bounce 
system, and some auto-responder spoofing the sender.

I always refer to spamassassin rules, which seems a fair indication of what 
people do out there, and you can see there are rules for passing or failing 
SPF/DKIM. So yes it affects your reputation but as I recall there are no rules 
for having/not having SPF/DKIM.

It's worth pointing out that we're moving towards a world where not 
implementing SPF/DKIM/DMARC for outbound automatically puts you in a lower 
class of service.  Some large receivers are already there.  "Undeliverable" is 
demonstrably worse than "spam foldered" from a sender's perspective.

So yes, I agree, but his query isn't as obtuse as it might seem at first.

In other words:
 - DKIM-signed spam is still spam, and is treated as such.
 - Unsigned ham, however, can be treated more harshly than spam, and this is 
more true all the time.
