Then you probably shouldn't let opendkim reject mails at all, if it cannot do 
that.

I assume you mean "... given that the signature is bad or absent". Yes, I would 
recommend to ignore ADSP completely, and instead use DMARC. And then optionally 
detect traffic from known mailinglists and accept those regardless of a 
p=quarantine or p=reject status from dmarc. But that's still being hotly 
debated in the dmarc community.

That said, there's only recently public software available to verify dmarc 
signatures and generate the necessary reports, implementing that on a home mail 
gateway is probably a lot of work. The DMARC standard is only a draft, and 
might change. And of course every admin is free to choose whatever he or she 
likes. But ADSP doesn't appear to be getting a lot of leverage, and if dmarc 
does take off, ADSP will be obsolete.
