There are very good reasons for footers on many lists, and DKIM should be smart enough to figure this out.

I disagree about "very good reasons for footers on many lists". Meta information belongs into the message headers, not the body. DKIM-signed messages are letters, not postcards, and no non-totalitarian postal service would dare open your letter and scribble junk on the contents. Stick to the envelope, Mr. Postman. ;-)

Scribbling in the body also breaks PGP signatures. At least that's trivially worked around by adding the list footer in a separate MIME part as many lists do. But DKIM still doesn't like that.

DKIM, SPF and DMARC have one thing in common: they're all hostile to mailing lists.

P.S.: We're drifting far away from Postfix here.

Sorry for continuing to drift.  I'll shut up again. :)
