[edit] Differences with DomainKeys

"DKIM is very similar in most respects to DomainKeys' operation."

So where does it differ? Please could we have a section on this. Sparky132 12:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

We don't know what all the differences are yet, since the DKIM spec hasn't been finished. A partial list can be found at [1]. I suspect that list has not been updated and may be a few months out of date with the current state of affairs. The part of the spec that is currently being worked on is the Sender Signing Policy (SSP). Opinions on SSP range from "throw out that part of DomainKeys" to "radically expand what can express". I suspect that DKIM will end up with a slightly enhanced version of SSP compared with DK, but that is just a guess. Wrs1864 14:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Now a standard; rewrite?

DKIM issued as an IETF standard today. Rather than refer readers to the DomainKeys specification, which is now obsolete and historical, the operational details should probably be moved or copied to this page since this is going to be the primary resource going forward. msk 18:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
