Hi there!

In 2013 the status of RFC 5617 "DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Author Domain 
Signing Practices (ADSP)" was changed to 'historic'. The reasons given included:
* ' ADSP has garnered almost no deployment and use in the 4 years since its 
advancement to IETF Proposed Standard.'
* ' There have, for example, been real cases where a high-value domain 
published an ADSP record of "discardable", but allowed users on their domain to 
subscribe to mailing lists.  When posts from those users were sent to other 
domains that checked ADSP, those subscriber domains rejected the messages, 
resulting in forced unsubscribes from mailman (due to bounces) for the 
unsuspecting subscribers.'

Since DMARC is basically ADSP on steroids and more complicated I have the 
following -serious- questions:

* Is there any information available why ADSP has seen so little adoption? How 
is this issue addressed with DMARC?
* Since the mailing lists issue also applies to DMARC and actually became part 
of the reason ADSP was dumped (see above) how did you make sure the same thing 
won't happen to DMARC?

Kind regards,
Julian Hansmann
