It is the number of unique domains seen in any given month for which DNSSEC resulted in either a "bogus" or "secure" result, which means for those domains DNSSEC is returning something meaningful. It's an attempt to observe how many domains are actually deploying DNSSEC protecting their DKIM keys or ADSP policies. It is skewed, however, by the number of reporting sites that run with libunbound. Obviously we used to have more than we do now.

This one is the number of unique domains for which we saw signatures in each month, as a measure of DKIM uptake.

It means we've seen 30859 different domains each send exactly one signed message, 17215 send exactly two signed messages, etc. It's meant to show that a substantial number of domains send a small number of DKIM-signed messages and then go away, meaning spammers are using DKIM to try to get better inbox penetration.

There are ebbs and flows, but a general upward trend is a good thing.

Yes, on the rollout of 2.5.0, I will begin recycling old data, perhaps at 180 days or something like that.

Yes, I'll do that today.
