FYI, I tried a bunch of SELinux updates to see if I could get this to
work, but nothing made a difference. I finally set dkim_milter_t to be
permissive (semanage permissive -a dkim_milter_t) and that allowed
things to work. If someone has a better solution, I'd love to hear it,
but for now I'm happy that gmail says that my messages pass (dkim=pass).

Here's a bug report for the same issue I was seeing:
