Hi, list!

Due to a new installation of my vServer I installed Exim 4.75 (from Source).
The Server has Ubuntu 10.04 Server as OS.

I compiled Exim with DKIM support and I configured it.
It works and I can sign outgoing mails and check incoming mails.

But I have a very strange problem, if the incomining E-Mail comes from a
mailing-list server.
For example, if a get an E-Mail from this mailing list and the sender signs the
E-Mails, I can see in the exim_mainlog:

2011-04-15 13:17:55 1QAh2B-0004Yg-Hl DKIM: d=<domain> s=XXXXX c=relaxed/relaxed
a=rsa-sha256 [verification failed - signature did not verify (headers probably
modified in transit)]

H=(tahini.csx.cam.ac.uk) [131.111.8.192] P=esmtp S=5726

<lucabert@???> R=localWrite_gw T=address_file
2011-04-15 13:17:56 1QAh2B-0004Yg-Hl Completed

I write in the received E-Mails some X-headers:

X-DKIM-Status:     fail
X-DKIM-Domain:     <Domain>
X-DKIM-VerifyReason:     signature_incorrect


Now, as I know, DKIM (and DomainKey before) should solve the problem of a
forward, which can fail with SPF.
Could someone say me, why I get these errors?

Thanks a lot!
