Here are the non-default settings:

    <mills_at_setup01:159>$ egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/mail/opendkim.conf
    Domain testing.umanitoba.ca
    KeyFile /etc/dkim/key.private
    LogWhy yes
    NoHeaderB yes
    Selector testing
    SingleAuthResult yes
    Socket inet:8891_at_localhost
    Syslog Yes
    UserID daemon

My test:

    <mills_at_setup01:158>$ mailx mills_at_cc.umanitoba.ca
    Subject: Test Message
    This one should say why it's not signed.
    .

The logs are pretty clear now:

    Oct 22 13:21:20 setup01 opendkim[10848]: [ID 858676 mail.info] o9MILKuK010865: no signing domain match for `testing.UManitoba.CA'
    Oct 22 13:21:20 setup01 opendkim[10848]: [ID 880812 mail.info] o9MILKuK010865: no signing subdomain match for `testing.UManitoba.CA'
    Oct 22 13:21:20 setup01 opendkim[10848]: [ID 699540 mail.debug] o9MILKuK010865: no signature data

It seems to be attempting a case-sensitive match. That can't be right
for domain names. People can chose any letter case they want for them.
