Topic: DKIM Entry for new added domains

How can we add new DKIM entries when the domains are added using postfixadmin?

Is the following correct procedure? What will happen if I do not add DKIM entries?

-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Generate the new key.

cd /var/lib/dkim/
amavisd genrsa xyz.com.pem
chmod 0644 xyz.com.pem

2. Add it to your amavisd.conf file:
Search for "# Add dkim_key here.", and add it alongside the others, preferably in alphabetic order so you can find it faster.

dkim_key("xyz.com", "dkim", "/var/lib/dkim/xyz.com.pem");

3. Add your new domain to @local_domains_maps in amavisd.conf. The line should now read something like this:

@local_domains_maps = ( [".$mydomain", "firstdomain.com", "xyz.com"] );  # list of all local domains

4. Restart amavisd

/etc/init.d/amavisd restart

Steps are correct.

You should know what DKIM is used for:

Thank you very much for your quick response.  I was able to add the keys and TXT record in the DNS.

Is there any drawbacks of using DKIM? Or it is just added security thing for EMAILS.

It's better for others to ACCEPT your emails.
