RE: OpenDKIM problems with Postfix

Here is what I have found using: lsof -i tcp:8891
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
opendkim 32652 postfix 3u IPv4 13479929 0t0 TCP
host.mydomain.com:ddi-tcp-4 (LISTEN)

This box was setup by a previous admin. We are running postfix,
amavisd-new, and clamav. It appears that postfix is using the opendkim
port.

I have put opendkim on 8892 and I can now start opendkim without errors.
I still do not see any messages being signed though. Also, how will
this interact with my users which use their phones for email?

Cool - I figured that would fix the networking stuff, but the
smfi_opensocket() stuff... that's strange. You might get that if the
socket is already open, or if you're trying to use both TCP and Unix
sockets simultanerously.

That section of my main.cf looks like this:

#DKIM
smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters
#milter_protocol = 2
milter_default_action = accept

(I comment out the milter_protocol because I'm using a modern version
of Postfix)

Can you share your opendkim.conf file?
