Good day! E-Mail security and spam prevention is becoming more relevant as approximately 53.5% of all e-mail traffic worldwide is spam. There's been numerous enhancements made to e-mail including Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC), and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Currently, and from everything I've reviewed, Synchronet has no ability to embed DKIM header information into outbound e-mail.the
The advantage of DKIM is the outbound message is signed with a private key. With the combination of the signed message and the DNS record selector (allowing multiple subdomains to coexist), the message is effectively validated from source. When the receiver reviews the header and inspects the public DNS record, the message is validated.
More information can be found at dkim.org. Within Synchronet, I'd like the ability to embed DKIM into the outbound message header. The creation of
certificates (public/private) should remain in the hands of the individual SysOp (OpenSSL, Cygwin, PuttyGen, etc.) but the private key location andthe
hashing of the message (and placement into the header) should become a function of the Internet E-Mail module.
What do you think?

perhaps just a semaphore would suffice ...
But of course, if you have any C/C++ skills, the source is open. :-)
