``dkim-milter'' is a name for the milter package for DKIM technology
which is discussed here.

``dkim-filter'' is a program which is a part of dkim-milter package,
which actually is a front end for ``libdkim''(not installed
individually unless you configured to do so).


``/usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-dkim'' is a start up script for the
dkim-milter freebsd port.
Like other milter ports in freebsd (e.g. sid-milter, dk-milter),
naming the script with ``milter-'' prefix would help classify what
program is going to be started (esp. when shown in alphabetical
order).
There's no guidelines for the name of rc script, though :)
