semi [OT] IEFT moves DK to draft standard

For what it's worth, I've already seen DomainKeys signed spam here.

All DKIM is going to do is tell you that the sender is in charge of the
DNS for that domain.

It could help blocking stuff from spambots if enough people adopt it, I
guess.

Cheers,

Phil

You're right, as i say, we're moving the trust from a service (SMTP) to 
another (DNS).
The DNS lobbies will let us to manage emails at no costs ?
Maybe, or maybe there will be an addendum fee to pay to install the TXT 
record.

Are we sure that this is the best solution ?
I'm not happy at all.
