I do see some benefit, at least for us.
We get a lot of mail from a bank, but I cannot whitelist the bank by domain, 
because of phishing. So I either have to write some custom rules and 
experiment, whitelist each individuals address as they hit, or validate their 
domainkey and bump any scores back down enough to clear the filters. I think I 
will look at enabling the dkim plugin in spamassassin and see what happens.
