Hello,

accedently I found a message having 8 DKIM signatures. My DKIM verifier (OpenDKIM) wrote a log "ignoring 2 signatures". Challenge accepted! I also found "ignoring 53 signatures"! *)

The number of messages having *many* DKIM signatures is very low. But the exist.
And for that reason it's good to have a limit like this:
https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/opendkim/opendkim.conf.5.en.html#MaximumSignaturesToVerify

This is also mentioned in RFC 6376, Section 4.2

To limit potential denial-of-service attacks, Verifiers MAY limit the total
number of signatures they will attempt to verify

Have a minute to check that your DKIM validation implementation have limits implemtent and activated ...

Andreas

*) just in case you follow my data and check the defaults: I've set MaximumSignaturesToVerify to 6
