DomainKeys: finally being used for its intended purpose
Google and Yahoo are using domainkeys to verify paypal and ebay email. This is a good thing, but it's really late. Still, since paypal and ebay are amongst the most phished services, this has the potential to do a lot of good. Now, if only banks would start using it.

Unfortunately DomainKeys (nitpick: I think they're both using DKIM now not DomainKeys, most people use them interchangeably but they're not...) breaks forwarding email, both .forward and mailing list style forwarding. It's funny... SPF breaks where DKIM does, and DKIM breaks where SPF does.
Maybe some Very Smart Person(tm)(r)(c) can figure out a good way to combine the two, but I'm not really holding my breath. I publish SPF and DKIM records for my domains (for example, dig -t txt slums._domainkey.slu.ms and slu.ms), would be interesting to see how many mailservers actually check them. I should poke through the DNS logs.
FYI, your captcha is brutal. First time I hit it I had to try 4 or 5 times. Does Drupal not have an Akismet module?
Har, and I failed it again.
Sign up for an account (you can use an openid account), and you won't have to face the captcha.
I use recaptcha... you can find it here:

Yes, I recall reading an article about the intersection of applicability between SPF and DK. It's interesting. The world is still figuring out whether DomainKeys / DKIM is still viable on the large scale.
I use a lot of email forwarding to combine everything into one account... I suspect that there are more people out there that use the same strategy than I know.
