We've begun adding in DKIM implementation for customer VSITEs in order 
to help with delivery as some providers have become evermore strict 
about what they're receiving.    While I'm not in agreement that DKIM is 
a 100% wonderful implementation and I certainly do not profess it to be 
a panacea for all delivery woes, it seems that at best it helps with 
delivery (and prevents delivery into a spam folder) and at worst 
pacifies the periodic customer who finds their domain not to be in 
compliance with [insert freemail / outsourced mail provder here]'s "best 
practices".

I'm making a brief HOW TO guide available in case you'd like to 
implement DKIM on a BlueOnyx hosted VSITE.   Keep in mind all the usual 
disclaimers, it's made available as a courtesy, not guaranteed to work 
for your production use, etc etc blah blah. That said, it works for 
us.   If it works for you, GREAT!

It also assumes you've implemented DKIM service on your server to begin 
with.      We have an internal runbook document on that but don't have 
it sanitized.  I can't release that since there is some proprietary 
sauce in there but Michael Stauber has previously pointed towards this 
tutorial which applies very closely (with some minor tweaks) to a 
BlueOnyx server:

All that out of the way, here's the guide for adding DKIM to a BlueOnyx 
VSITE:
