DKIM has nothing to do with the rfc5321.MailFrom address or anything else in 
SMTP.  It is a message-level mechanism, not transfer-level.

The dkimbase signing specification's reference to return-path cautions *against* 
including it as part of the signature data.

What are you referring to about "as recommended in the spec"?
