[Cialug] DKIM

Anyone here using DKIM/DomainKeys? I just found out about this today when I
noticed I was getting e-mails from people and gmail would say "signed by:
..."

As I understand it, this is a signing system that helps avoid spoofing
e-mail origins. If so, it sounds like this sytem, if broadly deployed, could
seriously help identify spam. Does this sound right?

If a signed message is deemed to be spam, it should be much easier to track
down and solve the problem than it has been.

It looks pretty easy to deploy too.
