 for ISO transfer

Hi Linus,

Thanks for pointing it out, I'll try to do my best to avoid this in future.

As I see now, in my case, the 'sender' in DKIM is triggered when using
GMail with alien domain in "Send From:".
I would not say that it is configuration "bug" (at least I can imagine
why do they do that), but it definitely must be avoided for maillists.
It is also interesting that if I use alien "From" email address with
google-apps (g suite) domain, then GMail generated two DKIM-Signature
headers, both for gmail.com and for the google-apps domain.
