[Rspamd-Users] Disable DKIM signature for mailing lists

That article was an interesting read.

What does it mean if even this mailing list doesn't deal with this
correctly? Just look at the headers of any message from this thread,
they all have both dkim and dmarc failures. Here are the auth results
for the message you sent.

```
ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1;
        mail.highsecure.ru;
        dkim=fail (body hash did not verify) header.d=arnowelzel.de header.s=default header.b=ZGD+5CBZ;
        spf=none (mail.highsecure.ru: domain of users-bounces at lists.rspamd.com has no SPF policy when checking 10.0.0.75)
        smtp.mailfrom=users-bounces at lists.rspamd.com
ARC-Authentication-Results: i=2;
        shamm.as;
        dkim=pass header.d=lists.rspamd.com header.s=dkim header.b=e5VWeO5g;
        dkim=none (invalid DKIM record) header.d=arnowelzel.de header.s=default header.b=ZGD+5CBZ;
        arc=pass (lists.rspamd.com:s=arc:i=1);
        dmarc=fail reason="SPF not aligned (relaxed), DKIM not aligned (relaxed)" header.from=arnowelzel.de (policy=none);
        spf=pass (shamm.as: domain of users-bounces at lists.rspamd.com designates 88.99.142.95 as permitted sender)
        smtp.mailfrom=users-bounces at lists.rspamd.com
```
