NAME
opendkim-genkey - DKIM filter key generation tool SYNOPSIS
opendkim-genkey [options] DESCRIPTION
opendkim-genkey generates (1) a private key for signing messages using opendkim(8) and (2) a DNS TXT record suitable for inclusion in a zone file which publishes the matching public key for use by remote DKIM verifiers. The filenames of these are based on the selector (see below); the private key will have a suffix of ".private" and the TXT record will have a suffix of ".txt". OPTIONS
-a Appends the domain name (see -d below) to the label in the generated TXT record, followed by a trailing period. By default it is assumed the domain name is implicit from the context of the zone file, and is therefore not included in the output. -b bits Specifies the size of the key, in bits, to be generated. The default is 1024 which is the value recommended by the DKIM specifica- tion. -d domain Names the domain which will use this key for signing. Currently only used in a comment in the TXT record file. The default is "example.com". -D directory Instructs the tool to change to the named directory prior to creating files. By default the current directory is used. -h algorithms Specifies a list of hash algorithms which can be used with this key. By default all hash algorithms are allowed. -n note Includes arbitrary note text in the key record. By default, no such text is included. -r Restricts the key for use in e-mail signing only. The default is to allow the key to be used for any service. -s selector Specifies the selector, or name, of the key pair generated. The default is "default". -S Disallows subdomain signing by this key. By default the key record will be generated such that verifiers are told subdomain signing is permitted. -t Indicates the generated key record should be tagged such that verifiers are aware DKIM is in test at the signing domain. NOTES
Requires that the openssl(8) binary be installed and in the executing shell's search path. VERSION

NAME
opendkim-atpszone - DKIM ATPS zone file generation tool SYNOPSIS
opendkim-atpszone [-A] [-C address] [-E secs] [-h hash] [-N ns[,...]] [-o file] [-r secs] [-R secs] [-S] [-t secs] [-T secs] [-v] [dataset] DESCRIPTION
opendkim-atpszone generates a file suitable for use with named(8) to publish a set of domains authorized as third-party signers for a local domain. The dataset parameter should specify a set of data as described in the opendkim(8) man page. It can currently refer to flat files, Sleepy- cat databases, comma-separated lists, LDAP directories or SQL databases. The keys in the named database are assumed to comprise a set of domains that are to be advertised using the experimental Authorized Third-Party Signers protocol as permitted to sign mail using DKIM on behalf of the local domain. Values in the database are not used. OPTIONS
-A Adds a "._atps" suffix to records in the zone file. -C contact Uses contact as the contact information to be used when an SOA record is generated (see -S below). If not specified, the userid of the executing user and the local hostname will be used; if the executing user can't be determined, "hostmaster" will be used. -E secs When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record expiration time. The default is 604800. -h hash Specifies which SHA hash algorithm to use. Must be one of "none", "sha1" and "sha256", with "sha256" being the default if it is available. -N nslist Specifies a comma-separated list of nameservers, which will be output in NS records before the TXT records. The first nameserver in this list will also be used in the SOA record (if -S is also specified) as the authority hostname. -o file Sends output to the named file rather than standard output. -r secs When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone refresh time. The default is 10800. -R secs When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone retry time. The default is 1800. -S Asks for an SOA record to be generated at the top of the output. The content of this output can be controlled using the -E, -r, -R, -T options. The serial number will be generated based on the current time of day. -t ttl Puts a TTL (time-to-live) value of ttl on all records output. The units are in seconds. -T secs When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record TTL time. The default is 86400. -v Increases the verbosity of debugging output written to standard error. VERSION
