As I believe Mike pointed out, this isn't how DKIM works.  The signature 
takes into account the body and header contents as well as the current 
time, so you can't recycle the same signature for all of your mail as none 
of them will ever verify (except the one on which the original signature 
was based).

You need to sign each message individually using the filter.

It does, but the digital signature is based on the message content and 
headers, which (obviously) changes from one message to the next.  Also the 
"t=" portion of the signature is a timestamp, so eventually you'd be 
affixing signatures generated before the actual message you're sending.

Absolutely.
