Actually Hector, you can feel perfectly comfortable using your
santronics.com email address with our greetingcard sites AND uasing
DKIM=STRICT. Try it, you'll like it <G>. 

Over the course of the past year we re-architected our processes for
precisely the types of reasons that this discussion is happening. When
we send a greeting card we are using our email address - for example
ecards at americangreetings.com - so that we are taking responsibility for
the email we send. We expose your name and email address to the
recipient in the subject line and body of the email. 

It makes perfect sense. I'm hoping that other social expressions sites
pick up on the fact that they can no longer (by this I mean that it is a
risky behavior and promotes abuse) use "your" email address as the Mail
>From and From when they send a notification.

There are other pieces, parts and considerations besides DKIM in how we
re-architected to improve security. We aren't where we want to be but
are moving down the path as fast as we can. Sometimes it feels like I'm
turning an oil tanker.

DKIM=DKNY for geeks (Sorry, couldn't resist)
