I'm going to suggest that this sub-thread is pretty silly. I think the existing wording is exactly correct. The quibbling about language is based on a larger context of considerations than applies to the sentence in the draft. DKIM is a particular service. An MLM will typically destroy a DKIM signature. If destruction doesn't count as "conflict with" then I don't know what does. The sentence in the draft is actually quite carefully to say "operationally" and that is exactly the right description of the problematic effect of MLMs with respect to the author-to-reader sequence of a DKIM-signed message. Leave the sentence alone. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
