  Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DomainKeys - perform DomainKeys verification tests
This is the DomainKeys plugin and it needs lots more documentation.
Use this to supplement the whitelist_from addresses with a check to make sure the message has been signed by a DomainKeys signature that can be verified against the From: domain's DomainKeys public key.
Since this whitelist requires a DomainKeys check to be made, network tests must be enabled.

DomainKeys overview Under DomainKeys, a domain owner generates one or more private/public key-pairs that will be used to sign messages originating from that domain.
DomainKeys detailed view This section discusses the specifics of DomainKeys that are needed to Delany Expires January, 2007 [Page 9] Internet-Draft DomainKeys July 2006 create interoperable implementations.
As far as DomainKeys is concerned, email of this nature clearly originates from an email server that does not have authority to send on behalf of the domain of the salesperson and is therefore indistinguishable from a forgery.

 DomainKeys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DomainKeys is independent of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) routing aspects in that it operates on the RFC 2822 message -- i.e., the transported mail data, header and body -- not the SMTP envelope defined in RFC 2821.
Because it is implemented using optional RFC 2822 headers and DNS records, DomainKeys is backwards-compatible with the existing E-mail infrastructure.
One of the problems with DomainKeys is that if the message is significantly modified en route by a forwarding mechanism such as a list server, then the signature may no longer be valid and, if the domain specifies that all email is signed, the message may be rejected.

 Merak Email Server by IceWarp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
DomainKeys technology, originally designed by Mark Delany of Yahoo!, has quickly become a bell-ringer among the mail-server programmers and developers.
DomainKeys technology is a proposed email authentication system for validating and proving authenticity of the domain of an email sender and also the message consistency and completeness.
But, DomainKey technology is more complex than SPF, because it can also ensure that the content of the email was not changed or altered in any way during the SMTP transit.

 Test Finds DomainKeys' Cost Less Than Expected
DomainKeys is a public-private encryption system that assigns e-mail messages a digital signature in the header containing a private key.
DomainKeys, however, is thought of as the more sophisticated solution because it authenticates the entire message, not just the sender.
The test also found DomainKeys used 15.2 percent more processing power for inbound messages, which Olson said would be similar for Sender ID because both need to check Domain Name System records.

DomainKeys is independent of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) routing aspects, it operates on the RFC 2822 message, the transported mail data, header and body, not the SMTP envelope defined in RFC 2821.
With DomainKeys, the absence of a verifiable digital signature header in an E-mail purporting to be from a domain which has a DomainKeys DNS record may indicate that that E-mail is a forgery.
One of the problems with DomainKeys is that if the message is significantly modified en route by a forwarding mechanism such as a list server, then the signature may no longer be valid and the message may be rejected.

 DomainKeys Set to Send Mail
DomainKeys is a cryptographic-based e-mail authentication technology that inserts a digital signature into every message to guarantee it was not changed in transit and to verify the original sender of the message.
Yahoo is openly developing the DomainKeys library for e-mail servers and clients on a SourceForge-listed project.
In addition to Yahoo's DomainKeys initiative, Microsoft's e-mail authentication scheme, SenderID, has also garnered a lot of media attention, although neither of these initiatives are the first (nor likely the last) to help protect against forged e-mails.

 MDaemon's Primary Features. Versatile Email Server for Windows. MDaemon® v8.0.
DomainKeys is an email verification system that can be utilized to prevent spoofing (forging another person's email address in order to pose as a different message sender).
Finally, DomainKeys can also be used to ensure the integrity of incoming messages, or ensure that the message hasn't been tampered with between the time it left the sender's mail server and arrived at yours.
When this check box is enabled and the DomainKeys verification process returns a "Fail" result, MDaemon will return the 550 code and reject the message during the SMTP process unless the sending domain's DomainKeys Policy indicates that it is merely testing DomainKeys.

 Sender ID, DomainKeys Are Hammering Spam
The geometric adoption rates for Sender ID and DomainKeys demonstrates what can happen when the two kings of the e-mail jungle, Microsoft and Yahoo, start howling and beating their chests.
DomainKeys provides a much greater level of assurance for e-mail than does Sender ID. Publishing an SPF record says that only certain IP addresses are authorized to send legitimate messages originating from a company.
DomainKeys confirms not only that a message came from an recognized server but that it was authorized by someone in the company and was not altered in transit.

 SKYLIST | SKYLIST First to Authenticate Outbound Email Using DomainKeys  
The DomainKeys technology inserts a digital signature into the header of each message that protects the sender from having a spammer hijack their domain name and brand.
DomainKeys is more complex to implement than Sender ID or SPF (competing technologies endorsed by Microsoft and America Online, respectively) but handles cases of mail forwarding and other technical details better than the non-cryptographic solutions.
SKYLIST is driving adoption of emerging standards such as DomainKeys, Sender ID, SPF and email sender reputation and actively engaged in dialogues and initiatives involving current and forthcoming legislation including CAN-SPAM.

 Using LISTSERV with DomainKeys
DomainKeys support has already been configured in DNS for the domains you will be signing for, per the DomainKeys documentation.  For your convenience, we have excerpted the relevant section from the Internet Draft for DomainKeys below.
Internet Draft for DomainKeys, these variables specify the domain for which you are signing ("d=") and the "selector" that is used to form the query for the public key ("s=").  For instance, let’s say that your public key is registered as follows in the DNS:
Double DomainKeys signatures are disallowed in most cases and, even when allowed, there is a risk that they may not be handled correctly by all implementations.

 PC World - Yahoo Takes Aim at Spam
The Yahoo technology is called DomainKeys and targets the spammers' practice of spoofing, or changing an e-mail message's header information so it appears to have been sent by someone else.
Yahoo's DomainKeys is designed to let receiving e-mail systems confirm that a message in fact originated from a user authorized to send e-mail for the domain stated in the header.
Of course, a legitimate organization that doesn't use DomainKeys will be unable to embed the private-key validation in its outgoing messages, leading these messages to fail the validation test at recipient systems that do use DomainKeys.

 ClickZ: An E-Mail Marketer's Guide to Deliverability, Part 3: DomainKeys
DomainKeys takes email authentication a step further than SPF and Sender ID. Like these technologies, DomainKeys uses information published in a sender's DNS (define) record.
DomainKeys allow the recipient to set their own delivery policies; DomainKeys may be one element, weighted according to other anti-spam policies that may be in place.
Most industry experts agree DomainKeys is a more comprehensive solution than SPF or Sender ID. But they'll also say while due diligence has been conducted on the technology, there's currently not enough industry support to make it a viable solution.

 Yahoo Mail Adds Authentication, Storage - Security Technology News by TechWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
DomainKeys is one of several authentication technologies that hope to put a stop to spoofed addresses, which are used by both spammers and phishers to disguise their true identities.
Although DomainKeys is Yahoo's homegrown technology, other companies, including Google and American Online, have shown interest in the authentication protocol.
DomainKeys uses cryptographic techniques to verify the identity of the sender, a process invisible to the end user, since it's implemented at the server level.

 DomainKeys Authentication Standard Doesn't Hammer Servers - Technology News by TechWeb
By Yahoo's DomainKeys, a rival to the Microsoft-backed Sender ID authentication scheme, has a minimal impact on e-mail server performance, according to benchmarks released Monday by a messaging management firm.
Sendmail claimed that the hit on server performance by running DomainKeys, which inserts an encrypted signature into every message, is about 7.8 percent on outbound mail and 15.2 percent on inbound traffic.
On a tuned Linux e-mail server, the open-source dk-milter should be able to deliver over 100 messages per second, a pace that means sender authentication shouldn't cause a noticeable bottleneck, said Sendmail.

 Section 24 Authenticating Message Origin with DomainKeys
LISTSERV Maestro allows you to use DomainKeys signatures to authenticate that the messages (sent for a specific email job) do indeed originate from the domain in the “From:” address.
Once DomainKeys has become an accepted standard for message origin verification, the current policy of only informing the recipient about the DomainKeys verification result in an additional header entry may change, and an ISP may opt to not even deliver the message to the recipient or to mark it as coming from an unsure origin.
On the other hand, not using DomainKeys may cause deliverability problems in the future if many of your subscribers have accounts with ISPs that enforce DomainKeys signatures on incoming mails or mark mails that lack such a signature as “coming from unsure origin” to warn the user about possible forgery or a phishing attempt.
