DKIM and ARC: Setup MTA: Exim

Requirements

  • Exim 4.91 or later.

    Note

    • Validation of DKIM, SPF, and DMARC must be enabled when Exim is built (it usually should be).

  • You have to choose authserv-id to determine the results of domain validation. In this document mx.example.org is used for example.

Configuration

Setting Exim

Note that, Exim also has DKIM signing capability, but we may not configure them: Sympa is responsible for that feature.

Thus, basically the configuration of Exim we have to do for Sympa is just adding following line at the end of the DATA ACL which is usually named acl_check_data (Note: Replace mx.example.org).

  warn    add_header = :at_start: ${authresults {mx.example.org}}

If you chose single monolithic configuration, acl_check_data is included in the acl section (the part after "begin acl" and before "begin otherThing"). Otherwise, if you chose splitted configuration, it is included in the file under acl directory, for example /etc/exim/conf.d/acl/40_exim4-config_check_data.

For details about DKIM / SPF / DMARC validation by Exim, see the documentation.

After you finished setting up MTA, test it.
