A mailing list modifying mails in ways not covered by the relevant RFCs (1123, 2821, and the List header field stuff). From our POV anything that doesn't fly with DKIM. > If SSP is just an information service, wouldn't it be better to > just describe what we do? That won't help with mail somehow related to Cisco, where they've obviously not done what they normally do (because it was sent on completely different routes, somebody at home maybe), or apparently not done it (some 'irregular' mailing list destroyed the signature). Unless Cisco sends passwords or invoices by mail it's no problem, they won't need any "I sign everything" policy. Big.bank.example wants this. > just give some non-normative guidance about which addresses might > be interesting.

Without it DKIM is like an X-Face: header field without picture.
