In the latter case, how do you tell? These are the scaling > problems that I fear make this unworkable. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-levine-dkim-conditional-03#section-4.1 looks quizzical. It says: A small sender that doesn't know which of its mail recipients are likely to be forwarders might put a weak signature on all outgoing mail, in the expectation that few of its users correspondents are likely to be malicious. If a sender has no idea, what domain would it put in fs=, the recipient's domain? That entails that a signing filter acts in an advanced SMTP step, where the connection to the MX is established and the receiving domain known. Also, in the previous paragraph: A sender that expects a message to be forwarded might put both a conventional DKIM signature and a signature with a !fs tag that refers to the domain name of the expected forwarder. That signature would typically be a "weak" signature that covers the From, To, Date, and Message-ID headers but does not cover the Subject header or the message body, so that it would remain valid even if a forwarder made changes typical of forwarders such as mailing lists. I understand that nobody can prevent a sender to put a conventional DKIM signature, even if it expects the message to be forwarded. However, if the scenario gets upgraded so as to consider that the sender /knows/ that the message is going to be forwarded, then the conventional signature is pretty useless, as forwarding will break it. How about this: A sender that expects a message to be forwarded might well skip putting a conventional DKIM signature and put just a signature with a !fs tag that refers to the domain name of the expected forwarder. That signature would typically be a "weak" signature that covers the From, Date, and Message-ID headers but does not cover the Subject, To, or Cc header fields, nor the message body. (To: and Cc: are often reordered, which breaks signatures.) Finally, IMHO the Security Consideration section should compare using !fs= versus plain weak signatures. In particular, consider senders who carefully avoid to send out weak signatures except for trusted (forwarding) recipients. Would it be advisable to put both a plain weak signature and a signature with !fs=? Plain weak signatures might be discarded by recipients with local policies about l=, while v=man signatures might be discarded by unupgraded verifiers. Putting two signatures together is rather common in the presence of new features, e.g. those who use elliptic keys do so. What is the difference between the risks brought on by each kind of weak signature? Answering such question justifies the version change. Best Ale --
