They indicate that mipassoc.org has processed them, and that mipassoc believes they are "worthy of all men to be believed" (whatever that means). I would not expect a simple minded Assessor to be impressed, or to take any action either way (unless there are _additional_ signatures that are more impressive). A smarter Assessor that knows the reputation of mipassoc.org _might_ be a little more impressed. Neither signature does any harm, but they don't do much good either. > > which by the way > > DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=simple/simple; > d=gmail.com; .... > From: HLS <[email protected]> And that looks like a perfectly good Author Signature, which any assessor SHOULD pass without further ado. > > Before mipassoc.org got its hands on it, is all about 3rd party "mail > DKIM interference" with 1st party or other 3rd party signatures. > > If you don't control this, then we will undoubtedly begin to see: I don't see WHY you want to control this.

Of course it would be better if COX.NET had added a signature first, with an ADSP record to explain it, but that is not essential. I just do not see what you are getting at. -- Charles H.
