A Few Thoughts on the Future of Email Authentication

"In the DKIM space too many signers are signing because they believe that 
the simple act of signing will help deliverability regardless of other 
issues that may be associated with their mail streams. This is the tail 
wagging the dog. DKIM/ADSP simply identifies mail as theirs but says 
nothing about the qualities of the mail stream. In addition, the ADSP 
(Author Domain Signing Policy) draft has been bogged down and it is not 
clear how or whether receiving operators will act on "all" or 
"discardable" assertions on the part of signers once a stable draft is 
achieved. It should be remembered that they are the ones most likely to 
field the complaints if legitimate mail does not reach the intended 
recipient. "
