NAME

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.


SYNOPSIS

/opt/pmx/etc/dkim.conf


DESCRIPTION

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.
