Just for completeness sake I will throw some in:

*) https://launchpad.net/dkimpy-milter
*) https://lib.rs/crates/dkim-milter
*) https://github.com/fastmail/authentication_milter

I have not yet had time to look at them, so no comment on their usability.

regards,
Robert

that will work with postfix that I can compile myself. I do not run on any linux

I run Solaris and therefore need to compile my applications, postfix and dkim.
Any good suggestions will be appreciated.

I just rolled out a locally compiled opendkim on my mail server. It
works, but there
are a few gotchas.

Although it seems like a moribund project, there is a late beta
version that includes
some important patches, most notably the "Header:\n LongHeaderValue" bug that
needs fixing.  You can look at

     https://sourceforge.net/p/opendkim/patches/

to find that patch, as well as others you deem important.  As DKIM standards
are not going to change soon, having end-of-line software is not as
bad as it seems
unless you need particular enhancements to make it work better in your
circumstances.
Once you get your setup dialed, you can probably set it and forget it.

Most of the headaches have actually been internal: local mail
injection via sendmail
would skip miltering, From header canonicalization by the MTA would not be
seen by the opendkim milter thereby creating messages with missing or invalid
signatures, and mailing list/auto reply/forwarder software mangling messages.

I think Postfix does a better job in this regard, so these issues may
not present itself.
(I did a Postfix/opendkim milter on an Ubuntu system and it was much
less hassle.)

You should look at *lots* of DMARC RUA reports.  People are doing crazy batsh*t
stuff with your mail domain.
