NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM - perform DKIM verification tests
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM [/path/to/DKIM.pm]
full DKIM_VALID eval:check_dkim_valid()
full DKIM_VALID_AU eval:check_dkim_valid_author_sig()
(for compatibility, a check_dkim_verified is a synonym for check_dkim_valid)
DESCRIPTION
This SpamAssassin plugin implements DKIM lookups as described by the RFC 4871, as well as historical DomainKeys lookups, as described by RFC 4870, thanks to the support for both types of signatures by newer versions of module Mail::DKIM (0.22 or later).
It requires the Mail::DKIM
CPAN module to operate. Many thanks to Jason Long for that module.
TAGS
The following tags are added to the set, available for use in reports, header fields, other plugins, etc.:
_DKIMIDENTITY_ signing identities (the 'i' tag) from valid signatures;
_DKIMDOMAIN_ signing domains (the 'd' tag) from valid signatures;
Identities and domains from signatures which failed verification are not included in these tags. Duplicates are eliminated (e.g. when there are two or more valid signatures from the same signer, only one copy makes it into a tag). Note that there may be more than one signature in a message - currently they are provided as a space-separated list, although this behaviour may change.

USER SETTINGS
-
Use this to supplement the whitelist_from addresses with a check to make sure the message with a given From address (the author's address) carries a valid Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature by a verifier-acceptable signing-identity (the i= tag).
Only one whitelist entry is allowed per line, as in
whitelist_from_rcvd
. Multiplewhitelist_from_dkim
lines are allowed. File-glob style characters are allowed for the From address (the first parameter), just like withwhitelist_from_rcvd
. The second parameter does not accept wildcards.If no signing identity parameter is specified, the only acceptable signature will be a first-party signature, i.e. the so called author signature, which is a signature where the signing identity of a signature matches the author address (i.e. the address in a From header field).
Since this whitelist requires a DKIM check to be made, network tests must be enabled.
Examples of whitelisting based on an author signature (first-party):
whitelist_from_dkim joe@example.com whitelist_from_dkim *@corp.example.com whitelist_from_dkim *@*.example.com
Examples of whitelisting based on third-party signatures:
whitelist_from_dkim rick@example.net richard@example.net whitelist_from_dkim rick@sub.example.net example.net whitelist_from_dkim jane@example.net example.org whitelist_from_dkim *@info.example.com example.com whitelist_from_dkim *@* remailer.example.com
-
Same as
whitelist_from_dkim
, but used for the default whitelist entries in the SpamAssassin distribution. The whitelist score is lower, because these are often targets for abuse of public mailers which sign their mail.
ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS
- dkim_timeout n (default: 5)
-
How many seconds to wait for a DKIM query to complete, before scanning continues without the DKIM result.
