AARGHH!!!!

Looks like it was a horrible combination of:

- a typo in the name of the key file (so Exim couldn't find it so wasn't
signing), and

- it appears the debug_print gets actioned before the dkim_domain and
dkim_selector options, meaning it's before the variables get their values
assigned.

Groan! At least I can go home happy now though.

Cheers,
Mike B-)

PS: Jeremy… I'm guessing the "should" should be a "can"?
(But not a can-can, of course. 💃💃💃)
