My conclusion (it won't surprise you to learn) from this thread is precisely the opposite. In theory, DKIM is enough for DMARC (this was always true), but in practice it is not. I don't think there's evidence of a systemic weakness in the protocol. We've seen evidence of poor deployment of

I am starting a separate thread, because this isn't just about SPF. I think the criticism of the reliability of SPF data is valid, but I think DKIM is similarly problematic. Once you get rid of SPF, you'll find you haven't really solved much. The next logical step will be to get rid of DKIM.
