That’s what happened; the DKIM authentication results were not
included when the header field was added in this manner.

This must be the way to go (haven’t done this yet). But when I put the
above line into the appropriate router config, an Exam process crashed
with a segmentation violation when I locally sent a message to myself
(the message was queued, and this happened on each queue run).
Apparently those variables aren’t always populated. I’m not sure
whether this would be considered a bug or just a misconfiguration, but
I’m happy to create a bug report if appropriate.
