For your reference: http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Domainkeys#DomainKey_Generation
Here are the contents of my public.txt that was generated by dknewkey: 'private._domainkey.example.com:k=rsa; p=MEwwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADOwAwOAIxALaWTpi/cwR7kuCDrh............... First, everything from and including "k=rsa" to the end must not be more that 127 characters. When I would test my DomainKey implementation with the key above, I would get: "DomainKey-Status: bad: Signature failed verification" every time. Now notice the part of the key "WTpi/cwR7" when I changed the "/" to "\057", my DomainKey now passes and Yahoo no longer defers my mail...sweet uh?
