Hi Tom,
Great to hear that your DKIM implementation is in CVS with documentation
to follow shortly. Do you have any idea when your DKIM implementation
will be officially released? I assume that it will be included in the
next release of exim, maybe version 4.70? I was just wondering what the
projected time frame is for the next release of exim. Its been a while
since the 4.69 release.....
Thanks!
Gordon
