Ian, this makes no sense to me. If a signing domain is concerned enough
to choose to implement ADSP, why would they reduce what they are signing
to accommodate a small percentage of their mail going to MLMs that they
may or may not be able to identify? I don't remove the locks on my doors
because there is a possibility that someone might break one of my
windows.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. MLMs are the tail, not the
dog. Don't wag the dog.

Mike
