Bug#519220: dkimproxy: It should not be neseccary to edit the startup script for, confirguration

[Dominik George]

I'm not so sure what options from the command-line override what options
from the configuration file.

I htink that dkimproxy should either completely rely on the
configuration in /etc/dkimproxy or have a file in /etc/default/dkimproxy .

The most annoying thing is that the path to the private key is
'hard-coded' in the init script. I have a CAcert key in /etc/ssl/private
and would like to use that - I have to edit the init script for that ...

Bug#519220: dkimproxy: It should not be neseccary to edit the startup script for confirguration

[Kim N. Lesmer]

Package: dkimproxy
Version: 1.0.1-8.1
Severity: normal


In the outbound configuration file it says that the domain part is fixed in the 
startup script and 
that if it the user needs to manually enter a domain he should disable that 
part in the startup 
script.

This is NOT the Debian way of configurating packages. Whatever the user needs 
to be able to edit, 
must reside in the /etc/packagename/ directory, and it should never be needed 
to change the startup 
script.

The correct way would be to remove the settings from the startup script, and 
then force the user to 
provide the correct domain(s).

Also if the user needs DKIMproxy to sign outbound emails for more than one 
domain he is forced to 
change the startup script.

I have not submitted a patch for this, since there seems to be several issues 
that needs to be 
resolved correctly.

Best regards.
