Getting Dkimproxy Installed and Configured: http://www.brandonchecketts.com/archives/getting-dkimproxy-installed-and-configured

Dkimproxy is a great program for getting Postfix to both sign and validate DomainKeys and DKIM messages. Prior to dkimproxy, one would have used dk-filter and dkim-filter which did DomainKeys and DKIM signing separately. dkimproxy is a newer version that combines the functionality into one program. Installing it can be a bit complicated because it isn’t available in most distro repositories, and requires several Perl modules that need to be installed. Configuring it can be difficult as well, because it involves making changes DNS and postfix, in addition to its own configuration.
+
DomainKeys filter for Postfix:
 +
http://jason.long.name/dkfilter/
  
I wrote these steps below as I went through a recent installation for a customer
+
PHPShield needs to be installed and setup correctly:
 +
cp /root/Downloads/phpshield-2012/ixed.5.2.lin /usr/lib/php/modules/phpshield.5.2.lin
  
You can install the required Perl modules through the RPM Forge Repository if you have it enabled with the command (Thanks JohnB for mentioning that):
+
Need the following:
  
yum install perl-Net-Server perl-Error perl-Mail-DKIM
+
/usr/local/bin/spamfilter
 
 
Otherwise, you can install them manually with CPAN. First install the openssl-devel package (You’ll need it for CPAN to install Mail::DKIM)
 
 
 
yum install openssl-devel
 
 
 
Now install the required Perl modules
 
 
 
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
 
> install Net::Server
 
> install Error
 
> install Mail::DKIM
 
 
 
Download and install the actual dkimproxy code:
 
 
 
cd /usr/local/src
 
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dkimproxy/dkimproxy-1.0.1.tar.gz
 
tar -xvzf dkimproxy-1.0.1.tar.gz
 
cd dkimproxy-1.0.1
 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dkimproxy
 
make
 
make install
 
 
 
You should now have the program installed in /usr/local/dkimproxy. A sample init file is included, so we can copy it into place also:
 
 
 
cp /usr/local/src/dkimproxy-1.0.1/sample-dkim-init-script.sh /etc/init.d/dkimproxy
 
 
 
Create a ‘dkim’ user and group, but lock the password:
 
 
 
useradd -d /usr/local/dkimproxy dkim
 
passwd -l dkim
 
 
 
That should be enough to get dkimproxy running, but it isn’t configured yet.
 
 
 
Create a key file for your domain
 
 
 
cd /usr/local/dkimproxy/etc/
 
openssl genrsa -out domain.tld.key 1024
 
openssl rsa -in domain.tld.key -pubout -out domain.tld.pub
 
 
 
Now create a DNS TXT record for mail._domainkey.domain.tld with the contents of domain.tld.pub. Your public key will span at least two lines, so combine all of the lines of the key together when putting it in your DNS record. The whole DNS record will look something like this:
 
 
 
k=rsa; t=s; p=MFwwDQYJ......0JMCAwEAAQ==
 
 
 
(Note that the key is pretty long and I’ve shortened it here)
 
You could now confirm the key is correct in your DNS:
 
 
 
[root@host etc]# host -ttxt mail._domainkey.domain.tls
 
mail._domainkey.domain.tld descriptive text "k=rsa\; t=s\; p=MFwwDQYJ......0JMCAwEAAQ=="
 
 
 
(Note that the key is pretty long and I’ve shortened it here)
 
 
 
Now tell dkimproxy about the key files, and configuration parameters. Create /usr/local/dkimproxy/etc/dkimproxy_out.conf with this content
 
 
 
# specify what address/port DKIMproxy should listen on
 
listen    127.0.0.1:10027
 
 
 
# specify what address/port DKIMproxy forwards mail to
 
relay    127.0.0.1:10028
 
 
 
# specify what domains DKIMproxy can sign for (comma-separated, no spaces)
 
domain    domain.tld
 
 
 
# specify what signatures to add
 
signature dkim(c=relaxed)
 
signature domainkeys(c=nofws)
 
 
 
# specify location of the private key
 
keyfile  /usr/local/dkimproxy/etc/domain.tld.key
 
 
 
# specify the selector (i.e. the name of the key record put in DNS)
 
selector  mail
 
 
 
And copy the sample inbound config to the real inbound config
 
 
 
cd /usr/local/dkimproxy/etc
 
cp dkimproxy_in.conf.example dkimproxy_in.conf
 
 
 
Now you should be able to start up dkimproxy, and configure it to start at boot:
 
 
 
/etc/init.d/dkimproxy start
 
chkconfig dkimproxy on
 
 
 
And the last step is just to modify the postfix configuration to tell it to forward messages sent to port 587 through dkimproxy for signing. I added these three sections to /etc/postfix/master.cf
 
 
 
### dkimproxy filter - see http://dkimproxy.sourceforge.net/postfix-outbound-howto.html
 
#
 
# modify the default submission service to specify a content filter
 
# and restrict it to local clients and SASL authenticated clients only
 
#
 
submission  inet  n    -      n      -      -      smtpd
 
    -o smtpd_etrn_restrictions=reject
 
    -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
 
    -o content_filter=dksign:[127.0.0.1]:10027
 
    -o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
 
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
 
 
 
# specify the location of the DKIM signing proxy
 
# Note: the smtp_discard_ehlo_keywords option requires a recent version of
 
# Postfix. Leave it off if your version does not support it.
 
dksign    unix  -      -      n      -      10      smtp
 
    -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes
 
    -o smtp_discard_ehlo_keywords=8bitmime,starttls
 
 
 
# service for accepting messages FROM the DKIM signing proxy
 
127.0.0.1:10028 inet  n  -      n      -      10      smtpd
 
    -o content_filter=
 
    -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_header_body_checks
 
    -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
 
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
 
    -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
 
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
 
    -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
 
    -o smtpd_authorized_xforward_hosts=127.0.0.0/8
 
 
 
If you want it to sign messages sent from the command line sendmail program, modify the pickup service to use the content_filter like this:
 
 
 
pickup    fifo  n      -      n      60      1      pickup
 
    -o content_filter=dksign:[127.0.0.1]:10027
 
 
 
Finally restart postfix with ‘postfix reload’, and you *should* have a working installation. You can now use my Domainkeys/Dkim validator to test and ensure that it is working.
