Because you can't tell the user's relation to the domain. Would you want Google to be the authoritative source of keys for every gmail user? Apollo Global Management for every Yahoo and AOL user? Personally, as a passive-aggressive mail system operator, the only keys my MX would publish would be proxy ones that let my MTA decode the mail and do spam and malware filtering. If my users don't like that, they can manage their own fripping keys. R's, John
