Bug ID: 2394
Summary: DKIM docs reference obsolete RFC
Product: Exim
Version: 4.89
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: medium
Component: DKIM
Assignee: tom@???
Reporter: exim@???
CC: exim-dev@???
The description of dkim_sign_headers in spec.txt chapter 57.2 refers to RFC4871
which is obsoleted by RFC6376.
The list of Recommended Signature Content (section 5.5 -> 5.4.1) is not
trivially the same in the two RFCs.
Further, the SHOULD in RFC4871 is not present in RFC6376.
As has been pointed out in the mailop list
https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/mailop/2019-April/013994.html
RFC4871 says these headers SHOULD be used *if they are present in the message
being signed* whereas the default exim config is to *always* sign these
headers.
