DKIM without SSP provides an ability for Name-based white-listing of  
transports.  Name-based white-listing/reputation would not be prone  
to IP address exploits.  Filtering programs would have a verifiable  
source for a message to permit a significant reduction in related  
errors.  If there was abuse, there would be a verified name for  
addressing complaints.  Why would that be useless for you?

What major benefit do you expect?
