Topic: DKIM Mail signing

Hi,

i followed the guide to set up iredmail and also choose to include spf and dkim. i set up my dns records for both spf and dkim like mentioned here http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/DNS_DKIM and here http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/DNS_SPF. but when i sent mail they are not signed with dkim, there are no header entries in the mail? amavisd-new testkeys show pass. must there something more be done to get this working? spf is working really good for me. i tested both with sending a mail to check-auth@verifier.port25.com and they also say that the mail is not dkim signed. mail sending is done from console with simple mail command on debian 5.0.3. Any help would be great to get that working.

Regards

Re: DKIM Mail signing

You need to put the correct entries in the nameserver(s) that's holding your domain.

E.g.:

dkim._domainkey.yourdomain.com.        3600 TXT (
  "v=DKIM1; p="
  "MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDYwEXrQqGpvGm3TS7O3oob6Plh"
  [....................]
_adsp._domainkey.yourdomain.com. IN    TXT    "dkim=all"

You can find the generated DKIM key for your domain:

[root@mx2 ~]# amavisd showkeys yourdomain.com
; key#16, domain yourdomain.com, /var/lib/dkim/yourdomain.com.pem
dkim._domainkey.yourdomain.com.        3600 TXT (
  "v=DKIM1; p="
  "MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDYwEXrQqGpvGm3TS7O3oob6Plh"
  [....................]

and copy/paste it from there to your zone file.

Re: DKIM Mail signing

it is not the problem to get the key and enter it to the dns zone file, the problem is that messages are not signed by dkim no header information at all. dns entry is verified by amavisd testkeys which shows PASS

Re: DKIM Mail signing

chek your server memory, if the memory run out. would lead to the dkim not sign.

I have test in debian 5.01 and iredmail 0.51 , and have no problem.

sent email to gmail can find dkim head.

Re: DKIM Mail signing

there are more than 3 GB free, are there any ways to debug signing to to print some verbose messages to a log file?

Re: DKIM Mail signing

Could you please try to send a mail via MUA like Outlook or Thunderbird? Not webmail this time.

Re: DKIM Mail signing

Are you sure they are not signed? Most mail servers only check the DKIM signature and then discard it, so the client can't see it. Send a mail to yahoo.com, they don't discard it.

Also, check amavisd.conf and make sure dkim email signing is enabled for outgoing.

Please use all reflectors from this page:
