You're right, s/person/domain/ for the D in DKIM.  For Hector's
example @mailinglist could be @yahoogrooups, and you'd know
that these mails should be signed.  And then Hector's example
would be some error (including "errors" by spammers forging the
wrong mailing list), but you'd reject it - if you're sure that
it's no error on your side.
