What is "the additional information?" As of now, the additional information has not been clearly defined: is it just a domain accepting responsibiliy, is it protecting originating identities, or something else? Past threads have debated on DKIM's scope, but I have not seen any firm resolution. Past discussions tend to imply that DKIM mainly provides the ability for a domain to claim responsibility for a message. If this is the case, I have not seen a good argument on how this will improve things. For example, with reputation systems, will DKIM provide a better (i.e. more effective) reputation system over existing ones (e.g. network address-based) justifying the cost of deploying DKIM? --ewh _______________________________________________ ietf-dkim mailing list http://dkim.org
