To apply the 'normal' and commonly used in other contexts (eg contracts and insurance) definitions. The sender is the first party. The recipient(s) jointly and individually are the second party. Anyone else is a third party. I have never heard anyone talk about 2nd party signatures. _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
