by chance I found messages like the below in my mailserver.
I assume, the following happens:[[BR]]

  • a gmail-user sends a message to the list[[BR]]
  • gmail (also a bunch of others) signes the mail using DKMI (1)[[BR]]
  • the mail is processed by openstreetmap/ mailman (?)[[BR]]
    -- the mail-headers are manipulated by mailman[[BR]]
  • my mail-server (exim4, debian) trys to validate the dkim and interprete it as a "fail"[[BR]]

a potential solution is to tell mailman to remove dkim-headers. ( better no dkim that a false-negative )

see e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/557493 for a explenation.[[BR]]
--> REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS = Yes

from my mailservers logfile:[[BR]]

DKIM Header stripping used to be enabled by default in mailman <2.1.10. In mailman 2.1.10 it was decided to not strip these headers by default.

Extensive argument why it is a bad idea to remove these headers:
