I used dkim-milter until recently, but switched to a pure- amavisd solution for dkim signing and verification last week. I never tried the dkimproxy, although the underlying module it uses (Mail::DKIM) is sound (same as used by my current amavisd and by SpamAssassin DKIM plugin) and the solution is fine, but requires passage of mail through an extra daemon, which is a bit cumbersome. > Instead of signing mail with /dkim-milter/, the same can be achieved by > using Jason Long's /DKIM Proxy/, which is a Perl program calling a Perl > module /Mail::DKIM/, i.e. the same modules as used by a SpamAssassin > DKIM plugin.

A verifying dkim-milter on 64-bit platforms (at least on FreeBSD 6.2) keeps crashing once a day or two. Murray can reproduce the problem, but so far the issue remains unresolved - for weeks now. The same milter runs fine on the same version of OS in 32-bit mode. This is one of the reasons I'm moving away from dkim-milter. > (worked fine on amavisd-new, used it in the MY_NETS policy) but now, > since it won't even start anymore, I decided to look at milters. > Any thoughts? ideas? dkim-milter is running fine on several hosts nearby on FreeBSD 6.2 in i386 mode. It is also running fine doing signing-only on amd64. It is the verification on amd64 that is broken somewhere (possibly in the underlying multithreading sendmail milter library, it crashes on a new connect under certain circumstances).
