DKIM Fails (body hash) when signing at MTA using opendkim

Ted Wilmont picture Ted Wilmont · Sep 18, 2014 · Viewed 11.2k times · Source

We are running into trouble with signing our outgoing mailings with DKIM using opendkim as a filter for Postfix.

This issue only occurs when sending HTML emails from phpList. All other text mailings and mailings from other services sign correctly and verify. phpList uses phpMailer as the engine.

If we send the mailing as "text", then we have no problem. If we send the mailing as "HTML" then body hash fails.

This problem existed in v2, however we used to force phpList to ONLY send as HTML.

This error occurs when sending the message as a joint HTML and TEXT email (which is the default in v3).

I presume it's something to do with line breaks/returns.

Can somebody point us in the right direction?

Thanks for your help in advance.

UPDATE: We can pass the DKIM verification check on Port25's tester if we enable "FixCRLF yes" in the opendkim config. However, this still FAILS Gmail DKIM verification.

I ran into the exact problem you are describing where [PlainText DKIM=pass] and [HTMLBody DKIM=fail] when sending to Gmail. I'm using C# MailMessage and by default the body default character set is "us-ascii", which works fine for Text based emails, but not HTML ones. Default character set for Email Subject is UTF-8, so no need to set again.

When sending a HTML Email, you have to code the following parameter before sending:

Mailmessage.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

After making this small change, Gmail registers my emails again and I receive a DKIM=pass; when I view the original source. Also these are the relevant headers

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
*followed by block of base64 body text*

Perhaps you can mimic the behavior using PHP, and maybe change yours from

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
to
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
