If there's no DKIM, then there's not really any obvious domain to be talking about when it comes to reputation, so I don't think that's a question that makes sense (at least not without more details as to what you mean by seeing a domain). > > Also, I'm thinking in terms of points like for spammassin.

But if the domain token attached to the message via DKIM is on a whitelist, or if there's a significant positive history, then it's quite likely that the DKIM based reputation would override other measures (and would likely be used to short circuit analysis to avoid expensive content-based work). > unless the email is proven forged by DKIM but we are not there yet > as ADSP is not widely spread nor adopted. > Yup. That's probably out of scope for this discussion, anyway.
