I imagine what it enables is immediate signing ability, insofar as you
will be able to generate signed mail. But, of course, the admin will need
to generate and publish a matching public key before verification will be
possible. If it's not already done, the public key (preferably in the
form of a TXT line in zone file format) should be left someplace for the
operator to pick up and do the needful.

Maybe the service file should live in contrib/init/systemd or
contrib/systemd?
