[ietf-dkim] Proposal to amend SSP draft with a reporting address (fwd)

[Michael Thomas]

Murray,

I'd be really concerned about drinking from this particular firehose, and
most especially the law of unintended consequences.

Maybe rather than proposing a change, it might be more productive to
talk through what the problem actually is? I'm not convinced that random
reports from potentially untrustworthy outsiders is what's wanted here.
