Situation:
==========
A user from charite.de is using the R-project mailinglist (mailman) to
ask a valid question about the R-Project
All our mails are DKIM signed.
Now a list member of the R-project mailinglist at Yahoo! uses the "This
is Spam" button to report the mail as unwanted, and subsequently I (as
postmaster for Charite) receive a spam complaint.
Problem:
========
Yahoo! seems to "trust" the DKIM header and thus indentifies
charite.de as sender, but in fact it's the R-project mailinglist which
distributed the mail.
I would very much prefer *THEM* to receive the "spam"-complaints, since
there's nothing *I* can do (e.g. like unsubscribing the miscreants from the
R-project mailinglist).
So, shouldn't mailman strip existing DKIM headers before distributing
the mail?
