How to set up perl Module Mail-DKIM

Posted on 2008-09-11 08:25:21-07 by homyangcha1

Hi I ve been trying to set up perl Module Mail::DKIM with amavisd-new version 2.6.1 using postfix as MTA on my Centos 5.2 server but without any success. Infact, I dont know from where to start. All the documents i got from the internet are either for setting up dk-milter or DKIM Proxy and other mail filters. Is there any way to setup perl-Mail-DKIM with amavisd and postfix without using DKIM-milter or proxy or dk-milter/filter. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Probably all you need to do is run this as root:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::DKIM'

Hope that answers your question.

I think i ve already done that, i mean i have run the command "yum install perl-Mail-DKIM" and the package has been successfully installed. When i run the command "rpm -qa|grep perl-Mail-DKIM" it shows the rpm package perl-Mail-DKIM-0.32-1.el5.rf. Now from here, how do i configure the above package perl-Mail-DKIM with amavisd-new.2.6.1 and postfix which are already set up and running in my server that has Centos 5.2. I hope you got what i am trying to say? Thanks again.

Re: How to set up perl Module Mail-DKIM

You are right. If you did "yum install perl-Mail-DKIM" then surely Mail::DKIM is installed.

As far as Mail::DKIM is concerned, there are no other steps, you should be good to go.

As far as amavisd-new is concerned, there may be additional steps. But I do not know what they may be. You may need to ask in an Amavisd-new forum or mailing list.
