I like to sort by new, and I occasionally run across these posts. There’s usually no interaction going on, just this … What the heck are these? Can I stop seeing them somehow?

    I’m so confused on what the point of such a hash would be. If the time that an email was sent was so important, would existing DKIM timestamps also work? Is this basically the digital equivalent of including today’s newspaper in a ransom note?

    Not to say that DKIM as-used is perfect.

      It’s not even accurate. The received timestamp is when they received it, not when you sent it. And email has a 3-day SLA.
