The only question this leads to is whether the unverified address is valuable without a valid DKIM signature, and YMMV, especially in the beginning (like now).

Checking against a reputation or accreditation system before validating signatures prevents the acceptance level from leaking to bad actors. This approach also eliminates wasted overhead related to signature validation. The real question is whether DKIM will have any value (valid or invalid) without there being a disposition asserted by accreditation or reputation. Only when the disposition for a valid signature is positive, would there then be value knowing the validity of the signature.

When negative-disposition -> reject;
When invalid -> ignore;
When valid -> annotate;
