If > there isn't, which one is the most useful? I have not found a library that implments both standards. I have been using dk-filter for several months. It is flakey and hard to use. They released dk-filter version 0.60 and stopped all additional work. As near as I can determine, it does not use a file for configuration settings, so eveything has to be a command line parameter. Getting it to validate inbound email was not hard. Getting it to sign outbound email was the problem. It uses only the From: or Sender: Header values and requires that they match the signing domain. I had to add the Sender: Header back to my mailing list servers, which I don't like because of the effect on MS Outlook. For forwarded email messages, I had to implement a mime-defang program to identify email that will be forwarded and add a Sender: Header value. Oh yeah, both the mailing list servers and the mime-defang programs had to remove any existing DomainKeys signature or dk-filter would not sign the outbound email. I am just about to start using dkim-filter in addition to dk-filter. It is supported better. They have released several updates this year. It uses a configuration file. It signs any email that you specify, independent of existing Headers. DKIM definitely is the preferred standard. Jim
