For those who operate public facing SMTPd that receive a large volume of

How much weight do you put on an incoming message, in terms of adding

DKIM signature?


Zero. DKIM for mailing lists is a horribly broken design and legitimate
mailing lists are second only to spam in quantity of SMTP transactions.
