S'pose DKM/DKIM wouldn't do as much damage if it *WERE* restricted to use in MUA's ... ... but I suspect you meant 'MTA' vice 'MUA', and if so, it is an invented-in-Redmond sort of 'functionality' of which you speak: - increase the workload on the sending box to compute and add a crypted sig - increase the workload on the receiving box to check the sender's stated usage (lookup), then validate each specific message, - use a smidgen more bandwidth to move the traffic.... - use a smidgen more space to store it - And: ... fail to accomplish anything with any certainty at the end of all the masturbation... You were joking about such nonsense being a 'default', yah?
