Hi,

Which was exactly the point I was trying to make.

a) If the changes are reversible (they're not "arbitrary modifications"), validity is easy to verify, it doesn't require some tacked-on trust process.

b) If they are not reversible, it likely requires a trust process like ARC does. In that case ARC already exists and works, if that's a problem that someone needs solved.

Burdening DKIMv2 with it might be an "easy way out" for some implementers, I suspect many of us are familiar with vendors' tendency to say "just allowlist us". Which will then result in "just allowlist our arbitrary irreversible modifications", I fear.

If it were practical to set up shared lists of trusted forwarders. it would 
have happened in the 10 years since the ARC draftwas published.

But it has happened, but only in the sense that everyone has their own list for the forwarders they trust. From our experience it works really well to solve certain problems.


Best,
Taavi
