I can add that the Legal team at Apache finally reviewed the DomainKey
patent and here is the related issue:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-22

The result is that they added this statement to the resolved legal
issues (http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html):

-----
* Does the Yahoo! DomainKeys Patent License Agreement v1.2 raise any
concerns?

No.
-----

If I understand it correctly this mean we can finally include it in our
repository and release it.

maybe the "mailet-crypto" product is the right place:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mailet/crypto/trunk/
