Hi

For those who operate public facing SMTPd that receive a large volume
of incoming traffic, and accordingly, a lot of spam...

How much weight do you put on an incoming message, in terms of adding
additional score towards a possible value of spam, for total absence
of DKIM signature?

No DKIM = not scored.

DKIM is not widely used and DKIM does break a lot of mailinglists and
sometimes also SRS compliant forwarding.

We do score some points if a DKIM header with invalid signature is
present.
