Echoing the views of Bron, Richard and John, I support the adoption of
this document on the proviso that earlier adopted documents which this
supersedes are withdrawn.
All technical objections remain.
Regards,
R. Latimer

This message starts a dkim WG Call for Adoption of:
draft-clayton-dkim2-spec-08
This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-03-16
Abstract:
DomainKeys Identified Mail v2 (DKIM2) permits a person, role, or
organization that owns a signing domain to document that it has
handled an email message by associating their domain with the
message. This is achieved by providing a hash value that has been
calculated on the current contents of the message and then applying a
cryptographic signature that covers the hash values and other details
about the transmission of the message. Verification is performed by
querying an entry within the signing domain's DNS space to retrieve
an appropriate public key. As a message is transferred from author
to recipient systems that alter the body or header fields will
provide details of their changes and calculate new hash values.
Further signatures will be added to provide a validatable "chain".
This permits validators to identify the nature of changes made by
intermediaries and apply a reputation to the systems that made
changed. DKIM2 also allows recipients to detect when messages have
been unexpectedly "replayed" and will ensure that Delivery Status
Notifications are only sent to entities that were involved in the
transmission of a message.
Please reply to this message and indicate whether or not you support adoption
of this Internet-Draft by the dkim WG. Comments to explain your preference
