+In Debian 11 Bullseye the service is controlled (enable, start, stop, etc.) by Systemd:
+<code>
+systemctl status opendkim.service
+</code>
+The daemon is listening on port **127.0.0.1:8891/TCP**.
+The same daemon is used both for signing and verifying. Signing is performed when the **From:** address matches the domains to be signed (see the command line option **%%-d%%** or the **SigningTable** option of the ''/etc/opendkim.conf'' configuration file), verifying is performed in other cases.

 ===== Configure Postfix =====
-To tell Postfix to use the mail filter provided by OpenDKIM, we use the **non_smtpd_milters** option into the file **/etc/postfix/main.cf**. //Non smtpd// means that messages filtered are the ones **not received by the SMTP daemon**, i.e. local submissions via sendmail command line, submissions to the **qmqpd**, ([[wp>Quick Mail Queuing Protocol]] daemomn), re-injected mails.
+Message signing with OpenDKIM is performed as a **milter** (mail filter) in Postfix; milters are declared into the **/etc/postfix/main.cf** configuration file.
+Using the **non_smtpd_milters** directive we may add DKIM for locally generated mails, i.e. local submissions via sendmail command line, submissions to the **qmqpd**, ([[wp>Quick Mail Queuing Protocol]] daemomn), re-injected mails. More generally we may apply DKIM signature for all the messages received by the SMTP daemon, using the **smtpd_milters** directive.
+Using custom settings in **/etc/postfix/master.cf**, you can declare specific milters for messages received from your users over the **submission** protocol only (port **587/TCP**). In this snippet of ''master.cf'' we use a custom **mua_milters** directive:
 <file>
-# Locally generated mails are filtered with OpenDKIM.
+submission inet n   -   y   -   -   smtpd
+  -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
+  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
+  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
+  -o smtpd_tls_auth_only=yes
+  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
+  -o smtpd_milters=$mua_milters
+  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=$mua_sender_restrictions
+  -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=$mua_relay_restrictions
+</file>
+Having done this, we define the custom **mua_milters** directive in ''main.cf'' to apply SpamAssassin and DKIM filtering on sumbitted messages:
+<file>
+# Locally generated mails (e.g. from command line Mutt) are filtered with OpenDKIM.
 non_smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
-# Mails received via SMTP protocol are filtered with OpenDKIM.
-# This does not include messages received by "postfix/submission/smtpd",
+# Mails received via SMTP protocol are filtered with OpenDKIM;
-# for that use mua_milters instead?
+# messages created using SoGO webmail go through this milter.
-#smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
+smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:8891
+# Filters applied (as smtpd_milters) to messages received via SUMBISSION/587;
+mua_milters =
+    unix:spamass/spamass.sock,
+    inet:localhost:8891
 </file>
-FIXME This configuration does not sign messages sent to the Postfix service via the **smtp** or **submission** port!
+Another important Postfix setting is **milter_default_action**, the default is **tempfail** which means that if the milter does not respond, the message will be held into the queue and retried later. Other settings can be **accept** or **reject**:
+<file>
+milter_default_action = tempfail
+</file>
+===== Logging =====
+When a message passes through the OpenDKIM filter, you get the following line into **mail.log**:
+<code>
+opendkim[983999]: 37FDD7D659: DKIM-Signature field added (s=2022, d=rigacci.org)
+</code>
+If a message does not match any entry in **/etc/dkimkeys/signingtable**, it will not be signed; the log is:
+<code>
+opendkim[983999]: 4778D7D610: no signing table match for 'testmail@rigacci.org'
+opendkim[983999]: 4778D7D610: no signature data
