dkim.conf - There are two configuration files named dkim.conf. Each is
described in its own section of this man page. The first of the two is used to
set the options that apply to the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) signatures
that are appended to outgoing email messages.
The other dkim.conf is stored in the /opt/pmx/etc/publications.d directory
and is used to specify aspects of the DomainKeys-Identified-Mail publication. For
more information about creating and sharing publications, see 'Managing
Publications' in the Server Groups Tab section of the Manager Reference.
/opt/pmx/etc/dkim.conf
The domain
and selector
settings described below must match the DomainName
and SelectorName settings in the TXT-record on the DNS server containing the
public key. The record is formatted as follows:
<SelectorName>._domainkey.<DomainName>
- algorithm
-
The algorithm used to apply the digital signature. The default is rsa-sha256,
although rsa-sha1 is also supported. See www.dkim.org for more about these
algorithms.
- method
-
The method used to apply the algorithm. The method setting contains two values
separated by a slash (for example, relaxed/simple). The value that precedes the
slash defines the algorithm for the message header, while the value that follows
the slash defines the algorithm of the message body. The default is
'relaxed/relaxed', meaning that the algorithm can undergo minor modifications
such as whitespace placement and header line-wrapping. The alternative for both
values is 'simple', which ensures that there is no line-wrapping and there are
no whitespace changes.
- domain
-
The domain of the DNS server where the DKIM certificate is stored.
- selector
-
The name of the key selector used for the signature. This must match the selector
specified on the DNS server.
- keyfile
-
The path to the private key.
