I get many emails from yahoo that pass DKIM and do not have SPF records
(I don't think.. this according to the spamassassin rule hits for the
email). In fact, it is true of this very email via yahoogroups.com
I would be interested in continuing support of it. Reimplementing for
DKIM instead of DK would be nice, but obviously more work. I will see
if I can get another query server running.. no promises :) I'll
double-check SPF on yahoo emails too.
