Maybe it's not a coincidence, but Steve Atkins just made a post about that:

I would tend to say that the more headers are included in the signature, the 
"safer" it gets (any change would be suspicious), but this is challengeable and 
it makes sense to look a bit closer at the detail of each header individually.

Some headers might be required to be added, such as X-CSA-Complaints and 
List-Unsubscribe, for CSA members:

Subject: [mailop] DKIM headers - which do you sign and why?

Hello Email Folks,

I work at Agari, where I guide large organizations through the process of 
getting their email to pass DMARC. I have lately had some customers with 
greater-than-usual issues relating to aligned authenticated messages that get 
forwarded, where the forwarding system is changing headers to the point that 
they break DKIM, and thus the messages fail and get rejected. The messages 
they're having trouble with are being sent from servers under their own control 
(and not third party vendors), and I have a sneaking suspicion that the issue 
is related to the specific headers they have chosen to sign.

I know signing the From: field is required by spec, but I think everything else 
is technically optional. For those of you who have been in the position of 
choosing which headers to sign and which not to, would you be open to sharing 
your reasoning with me? Any words of wisdom around headers they really should 
or should not sign?

Insight much appreciated!


Thanks,

Autumn Tyr-Salvia
