Since the DKIM signature is part of the mail message, if you want your phone to do that, why wouldn't you just have the phone's mail program validate the signature in the usual way? Phones pick up mail by IMAP, so if they are sufficiently online to do IMAP, they can do DNS queries. There's the more basic question of what the program would do with the result. Surely everyone here knows that "valid signature" has no connection to "not spam" or "not phish".
