Great write-up. Wonder if you had the same guide but written for dummies. I am running a VPS on wiredtree.com Using a VPS cause i like the freedom it allows. Not becuase i am a serious web guy. Problem is tat all my emails sent to any yahoo account is sent to the spam folder. Now I have enabled domain keys and it shows up fine in the head. But DKIM shows as neutral. So I need to get DKIM installed and working so that I can email folks who use Yahoo. Now I have putty and know how to follow directions really well. So when you say, "Exim should listen on an additional port – make sure you have something similar in your exim.conf file:". What i need to know is how to look at that file. I am talking about real frickin noob here. Assume you are asking your mom to do this.Is it smart to have someone with my knowledge do this? Probably not. But i don't have a choice. Support has said they can not help me. I have escalated my request but i am not counting on it.So can anyone help me here? Wow. Great write-up.

Since cPanel will check for any scripts in postwwwacct after running wwwacct, this would effectively automate the additions after setting up such a script.

The issues were due to exim also running on port 587 for an alternate port (cPanel has the option to add an extra optional port). Since many ISPs block post 25, I have it also running on 587.The changes that needed to be done were the following:In exim.confdaemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587In /etc/init.d/eximif [ "$ALTPORT" != "" -a "`grep \"daemon_smtp_port.* $ALTPORT\" /etc/exim.conf`" = "" ]; then echo -n "Starting exim-$ALTPORT: " # TMPDIR=/tmp $DAEMONIZE /usr/sbin/exim -bd -oX $ALTPORT # echo $RESULT fiAfter doing those changes, restarting dkimproxy and exim worked to get it functioning.I appreciate the assistance and hopefully this information helps anyone in the future using cPanel if they also do the alternate port option for exim. Great tutorial :) Actually, with a few changes, it is now working. The issues were due to exim also running on port 587 for an alternate port (cPanel has the option to add an extra optional port). Since many ISPs block post 25, I have it also running on 587.

The changes that needed to be done were the following:

In exim.conf

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587

In /etc/init.d/exim

if [ "$ALTPORT" != "" -a "`grep \"daemon_smtp_port.* $ALTPORT\" /etc/exim.conf`" = "" ]; then
echo -n “Starting exim-$ALTPORT: ”
# TMPDIR=/tmp $DAEMONIZE /usr/sbin/exim -bd -oX $ALTPORT
# echo $RESULT
fi

After doing those changes, restarting dkimproxy and exim worked to get it functioning.

I appreciate the assistance and hopefully this information helps anyone in the future using cPanel if they also do the alternate port option for exim. Great tutorial :)
