Why wouldn't I? Do you use to send unsigned messages while claiming in the signing policies published in the DNS that all messages from your domain are supposed to be signed? In that case your email indeed deserves to be rejected. In the opposite case (you sign all, or you do not publish any policies, or allow unsigned mail), you are just fine, and your messages will pass through my mail server just fine.

I do, of course use DMARC too, but not every sender does. There are still many senders who only use DKIM (with or without SPF). That's also why I wrote the script is needed unless DMARC or SA helps to reject the message.

This is no my own designing. That's a public standard. DKIM policies can be published in the DNS as TXT records in several forms:

Exactly! That's also one of the reasons I exclude them.
