Lets keep this simple.
From the beginning, there were certain policies that were considered
that I can best summaries with these dialog box:
-- SSP --
DOMAIN: __________
(_) NEVER SIGNED
(_) ALWAYS SIGNED
(_) ME ONLY
(_) 3RD PARTY LIST [ EDIT LIST ...]
(_) SOMETIMES SIGNED
(_) ME ONLY
(_) 3RD PARTY LIST [ EDIT LIST ...]
[ SAVE SSP RECORD ] [ REMOVE SSP RECORD ]
That was deemed too complex, at least the 3rd party portions of it.
So now we have (I think)
-- ADSP --
DOMAIN: __________
(_) ALWAYS SIGNED
[_] ME ONLY
(_) SOMETIMES SIGNED
[_] ME ONLY
[ SAVE ADSP RECORD ] [ REMOVE ADSP RECORD ]
Any further reduction is not going to help target the market of
domains that at seeking exclusive DKIM signature usage.
