Folks,

OK.  So I didn't understand how visible the effects of my experiment would be, 
or how much impact it would have on folks' filters, ability to reply to bounce 
messages, etc.

Those using the List-ID header field for filtering are notably affected.

Up until now, the domain name "dkim.org" has had limited utility.  We (cisco and 
me and my ISP) recently made a change to give it full and direct support for 
access to the web pages.

I therefore, quite casually, modified one of the entries in the mailing list 
administration page, to use dkim.org rather than mipassoc.org.  I did not 
realize how that string was used, and it switched things like List-ID and the 
bounce address.

On the theory that mipassoc.org is already embedded in folks's address books and 
that the effort to make both the mailing list configuration and everyone else's 
use of the domain name would be far more effort than useful, I have switched 
that mailing list field back to mipassoc.org.

So, dkim.org is what to use for the web page.

mipassoc.org is what to use for the mailing list.

Sorry for the (my) confusion.
