I think you've hit on possibly the most interesting part of this: In RFC 6376, we said "You're taking some responsibility for this message... and oh, by the way, it could get replayed, and your claimed responsibility extends to that case as well".  I don't know that we underscored the latter very much then or since.


At the time DKIM was first developed, we knew that replay was possible.  It was deemed a lesser concern.  Back then.

But the "by the way" that you've added was /not/ part of the thinking then and it occurs to me that a) no it was not and is not intended, and b) this might argue for *having MDAs remove DKIM signatures...*

Seriously.  DKIM is intended as a transit-time mechanism.  When delivery occurs, transit is done.  So DKIM has done its job and can (safely?) be removed.
