That's the problem: if you do that, domains like Cisco -- or anybody else who uses mailing lists -- will *never* publish a "we sign everything" policy even though we do.

And that's a problem because ... ? There are all sorts of true statements that you can make about your outgoing mail, almost none of which are of any use to anyone else. This appears to be one of them.

A financial institution being heavily phished may wish to explicitly state:

"SIGN ALL MAIL" and "DO NOT USE ANY SERVICES KNOWN TO DAMAGE THEIR SIGNATURES"

Cisco may wish to only state:

"SIGN ALL MAIL"

The important difference is whether the assertion is _expected_ to cover all possible sources carrying their messages.
