I would be interested in hearing what a mainstream mailbox provider has to say 
about the issue - is it actually an operational problem for them, how much of 
it they see, if they believe any changes could help them mitigate it - before 
expending much effort.

I’ve heard concern from some ESPs that DKIM replays will impact their domain 
reputation and delivery rates, but no confirmation from mailbox providers that 
it does (and if it does, whether that’s a protocol level problem or just 
something that should be tweaked in their reputation tracking).

Cheers,
  Steve
