#7 miilter was not installed

[lucas03]

Hi,
I have installed opendkim by
"apt-get install opendkim"
I have debian vps and I could not run it, so I downloaded newest version and installed it manually.
However, milter could not be installed.
In /etc/opendkim.conf I have
Socket inet:12345@localhost
in /etc/default/opendkim
SOCKET="inet:12345@localhost" # listen on loopback on port 12345
Opendkim and postfix are running.
in /var/log/mail.log
Sep 16 00:00:26 ym postfix/cleanup[8137]: warning: connect to Milter service inet:localhost:12345: Connection refused
How can I install milter?
When I set socket like this
SOCKET="local:/var/run/opendkim/opendkim.sock" # default
I dont get error, but dkim signature is not attached.

If you do "netstat -a | fgrep LISTEN" it will show you all listening sockets. One of those will be the running filter. Or you could use "lsof -p <pid>" using the pid of the running filter to find out where it's listening.

For the case where you're using local domain sockets, turn on "LogWhy" to find out what decisions it's making about the signing decision to see why it isn't signing your mail.

LogWhy is set to yes, otherwise I would not be getting warnings as well.

Do you have a packet filter in place that might block connections over that port?

Can you try the "lsof" step I mentioned previously?

Abandoned.
