There are a couple of long threads on this at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2007-February/thread.html>.


The current situation in Mailman is sumarized in the following from
Defaults.py

># Some list posts and mail to the -owner address may contain DomainKey or

>REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS = No
