A DKIM signed message can be replayed from other SMTP clients. This is a desirable feature, but permits abuse when receivers base message acceptance upon (the reputation of) the DKIM domain.

Are you talking about the scenario wherein you send a message in a legitimate way and capture the signed message (for instance, you send a message from your mail-abuse.org address to your own yahoo.com address), and then you re-send that message, perhaps as spam, from some other domain (say, spam-is-profitable.com)?
