Yes.

The addition of DKIM or domain keys to your outbound list mail clearly helps get your mail through to those direct recipients whose services like gmail or yahoo check DKIM or domainkey signatures and treat mail with valid signatures favorably. Since yours is an announce only list, you don't have to worry about the signatures on incoming mail being invalidated by things the list does to the message. The problem in your case is when [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribes to your list and alumni.example.edu, which is just a forwarding service, forwards that mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the signature may now be invalid because the IP that the message came to gmail from is that of alumni.example.com, not your IP that signed the mail or because of other transformations to the message by the forwarding service. Gmail may consider this to be worse than if the mail was unsigned. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
