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?

R's,
John
