 | | But there must be some method of establishing a "trust level" for authenticated sending domains, otherwise all the spam-houses will simply put public keys in their DNS, install the signing feature on their MTA's, use "real" domains in their messages and continue as before. |
 | | In the Yahoo case, this would be verification of the signatures) The Yahoo verification would also require the calculation of a hash of several strings from the message header (sending domain, timestamp, etc.), but this is computationally trivial once the mail message is in memory. |
 | | I would guess that performance of message verification using Yahoo domain keys would be of similar. |
