Hi Matthew,

The point of using different keypairs for different lists is that some message 
filters use the DKIM signing domain as a data point when calculating sender 
reputation.

Ideally, you want to have the signing domain match the From domain. If the 
lists use different From domains, then I'd recommend different keypairs for 
that reason.

If it's all using the same domain then the same keypair across all lists is 
probably fine.

If you really want to get into the weeds, different keypairs can help you 
isolatate and limit the reputational risk from DKIM replay attacks regardless 
of the same sending domain.

But, message volume also matters for building reputation and, there's no point 
in using separate keys for double digit per-list daily volumes. Combining under 
one key and one domain may also be a winning strategy in that case.

Ken.

Out of interest, why?

Are there any known issues with using the same keypair across multiple
lists, or indeed across multiple sending domains?
