Issue Configuring Exim

[earthrat]

I am trying to setup the dedicated IP address for domains that have one to send mail from their site instead of the servers IP. I ran into some complications with this because after setting this up email was returning a 550 error""" and it was not until I disabled "Allow DKIM verification for incoming messages" was I able to send mail.

Allow DKIM says it is looking for valid signatures in incoming mail. However I do not know what that signature is supposed to be because in my tests the email addresses used came from other accounts on the same server. So one question I have is if the signatures are not correct on the server how do I go about correcting that?

Because there is no reference saying that I need to disable DKIM verification I assume these will work together and I like what DKIM does for my clients and need to know what I must do to get these two parameters to play nice?

Thanks, here is what the server message read, email addresses have been changed to protect the innocent...

The error that the other server returned was:
550 Administrative prohibition

Could you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look? It's possible you have some custom Exim configuration rules in place that are conflicting with the native DKIM support. You can open a ticket via:

Post the ticket number here and we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.

Thank you, my support ticket number is #4348869

To update, the issue was in-fact related to a custom Exim configuration value. The following value was not required, but added to the Exim configuration file:

acl_smtp_dkim = acl_smtp_dkim

Removing it and restarting Exim resolved the issue.

Thank you.
