S'pose DKM/DKIM wouldn't do as much damage if it *WERE* restricted to
use in MUA's ...
... but I suspect you meant 'MTA' vice 'MUA', and if so, it is an
invented-in-Redmond sort of 'functionality' of which you speak:
- increase the workload on the sending box to compute and add a crypted sig
- increase the workload on the receiving box to check the sender's
stated usage (lookup), then validate each specific message,
- use a smidgen more bandwidth to move the traffic....
- use a smidgen more space to store it
- And:
... fail to accomplish anything with any certainty at the end of all the
masturbation...
You were joking about such nonsense being a 'default', yah?
