This looks like a standard replay attack.  Such technique can't be
used to send SPAM on behalf of domains that don't sign SPAM (e.g.,
porcupine.org).  If a domain is willing to sign SPAM, then they
deserve that all their messages are handled with great prejudice.

It is possible to take DKIM-signed messages with signature and all,
and to append SPAM at the bottom, but that is not a very effective
way to reach many eyeballs.
