Betreff: [exim] DKIM: signing failed (RC -101)
I followed various guides on DKIM and Exim..

http://www.iodigitalsec.com/exim-dkim-and-debian-configuration/
http://www.systemajik.com/blog/implementing-dkim-with-exim/
http://mikepultz.com/2010/02/using-dkim-in-exim/

Kept getting: DKIM: signing failed (RC -101)

The cause (or final fix) was to add the full pathname to where the key
was..
dkim_private_key = /etc/exim/dkim.private.key

I think an error message of "dkim_private_key not found - please specify
the full pathname" would have been more helpful than "signing failed".

For some reason - I thought that "/etc/exim" was the default directory
as that is how all the examples were.
On further examination - all my file references in exim.conf have full
pathnames, yet all examples for DKIM have a relative pathname. Is there
a Global Variable for relative Pathnames? Is this a Debian thing? - I'm
running Gentoo.
