I've been subscribing to mailing lists since the 1970s, and other than a brief flurry about 15 years ago when spammers used open lists as mail amplifiers, I have never seen bad mail leaking through lists as a particularly serious or insoluble problem. Could you explain why you think DKIM will make hitherto competent list managers unable to control what gets onto the lists, and perhaps suggest a few lists where you expect the managers to be too incompetent to manage what gets onto the list, yet competent enough to add DKIM verification, add an A-R header, and resign it?
