As in - what should be in */var/qmail/control/me*

Traditionally I've always thought of the Server Name as it's canonical name - that's what goes in */var/qmail/control/me* by default

I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix/DomainKeys useful - it noted in addition to the wiki's TXT entry there should also be a

_domainkey.domain.tld. IN TXT "t=y; o=~;"

 * note the *t=y;* section should be deleted once up and running

Wikipedia is also useful, and this page:

 * http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/How_to_Setup_DKIM_with_Qmail_Toaster

But - and these things are always tricky to get working

 * The dkim implementation in the wiki uses */var/qmail/control/me*
     o specified in */var/qmail/control/dkim/signconf.xml*
     o <someservername>.domain.tld

I couldn't get it to work correctly and would fail with - not sure if this is the last error but /permerror/ was a significant one (in the headers of a yahoo mail)

So I changed /var/qmail/control/dkim/signconf.xml, changing the attribute

 * *domain=* to reflect
 * *domain=**"domain.tld"*

and regenerated the keys*
*

 * *Bingo !*
 * Yahoo liked it*
   *

so in the end

 * /var/qmail/control/me => <server>.domain.tld
 * /var/qmail/control/dkim/signconf.xml => domain.tld

if that makes sense ...
