What is the difference between dkim-milter and dk-filter?


I thought I was "done" when I installed dkim-milter in Postfix 2.3.3 on a RedHat EL 5 server I'm working on but now I'm confused.

Here is where I got version 2.7.2 of dkim-milter:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dkim-milter/

Here is where I just found dk-filter:
http://jason.long.name/dkfilter/

Reading the INSTALL and README files for both packages confuses me since they basically say the same thing.

Do I need BOTH to properly implement DomainKeys or just one of the two?

Thanks!

Peace...

dkim-milter implements DKIM for domain keys you need dk-milter.

Thanks for the reply! Since starting this thread, I've been doing a bit more research. It appears DKIM is a newer version of DomainKeys. I'm thinking part of my confusion is due to Hotmail servers possibly not supporting DKIM, based on what I'm seeing in some test message headers.

When I send a DKIM signed message to Yahoo! or Google accounts, the header shows the full DKIM signature. When I send the same message to Hotmail, it only showed part of the header and that's IF the message got delivered at all. *Sigh*

Do you know how to configure Postfix to run dk-milter alongside dkim-milter?

Thanks!

Peace...
