[ietf-dkim] besides mailing lists...

[Michael Thomas]

While I personally find F2F usage sort of creepy, from the receiver's standpoint it looks
for all intents and purposes like a mailing list, which for all intents and purposes looks
like an unsigned piece of mail purporting to be from my domain. Intent seems to have very
little to do with this... so maybe these all just fold into the same unsolved case.

Any other cases of out-of-sender's control of "legitimate" mail purporting to be from their domain?
