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)[reply]

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 I suspect that list has not been updated and may be a few months out of date with the current state of affairs.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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Change to the example address

I've changed the example e-mail address in the header to use a domain reserved for examples/documentation by RFC2606 as this is commonly considered a best-practice. Thanks. -- Kameron (talk) 01:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo!

Yahoo appears to do only DomainKeys and not full DKIM (DomainKey-Signature: header v/s DKIM-Signature: header). So, this statement:

"Since 2004, Yahoo! has signed all of its outgoing e-mail with DomainKeys and is verifying all incoming mail. As of 2005, Yahoo reported that the number of DomainKeys-verified e-mail messages they receive exceeds 300 million per day."

while correct, does not actually belong to this article and causes confusion.

Conflict of interest?

On 1 May 2009 at 21:49, User:Davecrocker added text adding Dave Crocker of Brandenburg InterNetworking to a list of contributors to the DomainKeys specification. Presuming, of course, that the cited Dave Crocker and User:Davecrocker are the same person, wouldn't that be a WP:NPOV issue? Also, does this belong in the DomainKeys article? --Flashcube (talk) 05:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This is Dave Crocker responding to the concern. Yes, I'm the one cited and the one who modified the page. The previous text about the relevant bit of history was factually incorrect. Before modifying the Wikipedia entry based on my often-poor memory, I contacted Mark Delany, at Yahoo, who invented DomainKeys and recruited a few of us to help with some revisions. The concern about neutral point of view is, of course, always reasonable. This is why I confirmed the information before adding it to the entry.
