opendkim-testkey(8) System Manager's Manual opendkim-testkey(8)
NAME
opendkim-testkey - DKIM filter installation test
SYNOPSIS
opendkim-testkey [-d domain] [-s selector] [-k keypath] [-v] [-x con-
figfile]
DESCRIPTION
opendkim-testkey verifies the setup of signing and verifying (private
and public) keys for use with opendkim(8).
The test program will read a domain name and selector from the command
line, configuration file or a key table, then query and parse the re-
sulting DKIM key(s), reporting any errors found.
If a key path is also provided, the test program will read the private
key named and attempt to confirm that the private key specified by key-
path (or in the key table) and the public DKIM key retrieved match.
OPTIONS
-d domain
Names the domain in which signing is to be done. More specifi-
cally, names the domain in which the public key matching the
provided private key will be found. This parameter must be pro-
vided either explicitly, or in the configuration file, or via a
KeyTable (see opendkim.conf(5) for details).
-k keypath
Specifies the path to the private key file which should be used
for this test. This parameter is optional
-s selector
Names the selector within the specified domain whose public key
should be retrieved and tested, comparing it to the private key
if provided. This parameter must be provided either explicitly,
or in the configuration file, or via a KeyTable (see opend-
kim.conf(5) for details).
-v Increases the amount of output (verbosity) of the program. May
be specified multiple times for increased output.
-x conffile
Names a configuration file to be parsed. See the opend-
kim.conf(5) man page for details. The only values used are Do-
main, Selector, KeyFile, KeyTable, TrustAnchorFile and Resolver-
Config. The default is /etc/opendkim.conf.
NOTES
The test program will also complain if a private key file is readable
by anyone other than the user executing the program.
