---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:27:05 -0400 (EDT) From: John R. Levine <[email protected]> To: DKIM List <[email protected]> Subject: Mailing lists and signatures
We've had a lot of arguments about the importance of verifying the identity of contributors to mailing lists. If you think that's important, take a look at this message.
Even though Mailman has added a subject line tag and a message footer, the S/MIME signature still verifies, and your MUA should show a green star or whatever, at least once you've told it to import my S/MIME cert. Mailman automagically wrapped the multipart/signed in multipart/mixed. And the signing cert has both my full e-mail address and my True Name.
So I suggest we update the DKIM MLM draft to take out all the stuff about signatures surviving lists, and just say that if it's important for your signature to survive, S/MIME already does that, with a suitable pointer.
R's, John
