Is "fixing" this as simple as removing the |LOG_PANIC

In (watch the line breaks)
  /* If we have arrived here with dkim_collect_input == FALSE, it
     means there was a processing error somewhere along the way.
     Log the incident and disable futher verification. */
  if (!dkim_collect_input) {
    log_write(0, LOG_MAIN|LOG_PANIC, "DKIM: Error while running this message
through validation, disabling signature verification.");
    dkim_disable_verify = TRUE;
    return;
  }


(The removal would be in line 95 of dkim.c)?

I do no wish to be paged when some site sends a faulty DKIM header at 03:00.
I do wish to be paged when there is a real panic situation.

There are other instances of logging to the panic log over in the signing
code--I think at first glance those should stay--closer study could show
that some are driven by user or user MUA faults and should not be panics.
