As a starting point, here's what Mike Markley put in the Debian package and
what I aded for Ubuntu package (Postfix is the standard MTA for Ubuntu):
Notes for Postfix users
-----------------------
Postfix users who wish to access the dkim-filter service via UNIX socket
(the default) may need to add the postfix user to the dkim-filter
group and ensure that UMask is set to 002 in /etc/dkim-filter.conf, in
order to make the socket readable by Posfix.
Users may also need to move the socket into a directory accessible by the
Postfix chroot; this can be accomplished by setting the SOCKET variable
in /etc/default/dkim-filter.
As an alternative, you may opt to connect to the filter over TCP. The
filter can be bound to localhost to prevent other hosts from accessing it.
Notes for Ubuntu specific changes
--------------------------------
Postfix is the standard MTA in Ubuntu, so the dkim-filter init is modified
to use a TCP socket on localhost port 8891 when installed. This will work
with a chrooted Postfix (the Ubuntu default configuration). To use the
dkim-filter, add:
# Milters for mail that arrives via the smtpd(8) server.
smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
to your main.cf
By default, if the milter is not available Postfix will defer messages. You
change this by also adding:
milter_default_action = accept
These can also be set on a per process basis in master.cf using standard
Postfix master.cf syntax:
-o milter_default_action=accept
-o smtpd_milters=inet:localhost:8891
See the Postfix MILTER_README for additional information.
