Following is a combined list of the features that I use on a Postfix 
installation 
supporting several mail domains.  I had some issues when trying to implement 
DKIM on a 
single process processing all mail, but after splitting it into three processes 
handling 
outgoing preprocessing, outgoing signing, and incomming, things have been 
running quite 
smothly.  

ADSPDiscard           Yes
ADSPDiscard           No
ADSPNoSuchDomain      Yes
ADSPNoSuchDomain      No
AlwaysAddARHeader     No
AlwaysAddARHeader     Yes
Background            Yes
Canonicalization      simple/simple
DontSignMailTo        
ExternalIgnoreList    
InternalHosts         
KeyList               
Mode                  s
Mode                  v
OmitHeaders           X-Spam
On-BadSignature       
On-DNSError           
On-Default            
On-InternalError      
On-NoSignature        
On-Security           
On-SignatureMissing   
RemoveOldSignatures   No
RemoveOldSignatures   Yes
SendReports           Yes
SignatureAlgorithm    rsa-sha256
SubDomains            Yes
Syslog                Yes
SyslogFacility        local1
SyslogSuccess         Yes
UMask                 017
X-Header              Yes

On the single system there were issues with determining which outgoing mail to 
sign, and 
which incomming mail to check.  I did get it working with a lot of help from 
Murray, but 
it was a bit fragile.  Other than the debuging bits, I currently don't plan to 
use any of 
the other features.

The area that needed the most help, was installation on a non-sendmail system.  
Quite a 
bit of frustration trying to get all of the necessary bits to get a clean 
complile.
