I appreciate the candid feedback, Andreas.

What perplexes me, however, is that messages sent to me by Google
(alerts, etc.) are signed with both. Why? And even though I can't find
any documentation to back this up, some of my visitors swear they see
better deliverability rates to Yahoo! if they sign with DomainKeys vs.
DKIM. I haven't been able to verify that myself yet, however.

So I guess my question (for anyone) is this: as long as both
signatures are added and no errors occur on the sender side, is there
any technical drawback to signing with both - including the removal of
the v=DKIM1 and g=* arguments from the DNS record?

Awesome. I am SO stealing that reference. :)
