DKIM Deployment

[Jesse Thompson <>]

Something to keep in mind.  DKIM might make us a target for spammers to 
compromise our user accounts even more than they already do.

"SMTP authentication is a systemic solution to the problem of SMTP 
e-mail abuse, and Webmail spam gets around it by bypassing the system. 
Recipients can no longer gauge reputation because they can't distrust 
huge mail senders such as Google and Microsoft. In fact, some recipients 
probably green-light some of this e-mail specifically because it's from 
well-known domains with SPF records or DomainKeys signatures."
