OpenDKIM (2.11)

The default expectation here is to use DKIM software only for signing. Spamassassin has its own DKIM verifier, and it is much less headache-inducing to simply let it take care of it.

Generate DKIM key

cd /etc/dkimkeys/
opendkim-genkey -b 2560 -s whateverselectorname -S

Choose selector as desired. 2560 bits can be squeezed into

Remove spaces and k=rsa from the selectorname.txt file, so it looks like:

"v=DKIM1;h=sha256;t=s;p=giantstring==

There is room for additional options, but it's largely unnecessary

# Always oversign From (sign using actual From and a null From to prevent

# somewhat security sensitive.
