Hi Murray,
Sorry for the delay in response. I was out on vacation for a few weeks. ;)
On the (E)SMTP side of things, as a client, I would hope actually that Mark
Martinec could provide you more concrete answers -- Basically I would
expect OpenDKIM to be able to behave no differently than Amavis in this
case, which already has this capability for DKIM signing/verification.
<
http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html> also has some useful
information. I don't really expect OpenDKIM has to do a whole lot --
Accept the message, sign and/or verify it, and then pass it back to postfix?
