Well, it did and it didn't. I've read up a bit more, and it seems that since 
the list software doesn't change the 'From: ' header, the original DKIM auth 
headers should remain as-is. Likewise, since DKIM is based on the 'From: ' 
header's domain, the list shouldn't be adding a DKIM header for leafe.com 
<http://leafe.com/>, since it would only be valid on my posts.  :-P

The only other option is to enforce DKIM validation on the posts to the list, 
and reject posts that fail. That would ensure that everything the list sends 
out passes DKIM auth for the recipients, but would limit the people who can 
post to the list. For example, Rick Shummer's recent post about Virtual Fox 
Fest contained no DKIM headers, and as a result several people reported that it 
was blocked by their mail system. I could configure my server to reject such 
posts, which is technically the correct solution, but not everyone has control 
over their email like I do.

Any thoughts? Leave things as-is, or enforce authentication on the senders?
