Hi, I looked in the FAQs and Googled the problem I'm having - without avail. I'd be very grateful for any help in resolving it.
Best regards - Iain Houston. Problem: exim reports: 1SBE1H-0000FZ-4l unable to open private key file for reading: /etc/ssl/private/dkim.private.key yet I believe the file is readable, and other files in that directory are being used by Apache. I am failing to get my emails DKIM-signed afer having moved from sendmail to exim. My setup is as follows: Using: Exim version 4.76 #1 built 30-May-2011 22:10:00 on Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-32-server x86_64) I generated the private key as follows: openssl genrsa -out dkim.private.key 1024 During testing everyone can read the key file and Debian-exim is a member of ssl-cert - for what it's worth /etc/ssl/private is: ... -rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim ssl-cert 887 2012-03-23 23:19 dkim.private.key -rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim ssl-cert 272 2012-03-23 23:19 dkim.public.key ... /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros is: DKIM_DOMAIN = jazz2.eu DKIM_SELECTOR = x DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY = /etc/ssl/private/dkim.private.key DKIM_CANON = relaxed newline characters are immediately after the text on each line ... I was suspecting a macro parsing error after I noticed exim not recognising the last line until I added a null last line update-exim4.conf picks these macros up OK and generates a /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated with the macros embedded however, emails sent after restarting exim report that the private key file cannot be read -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
