Dkim

Current Version: 10.1.2

DomainKeys API for creating and verifying DKIM-Signature and DomainKey-Signature MIME (email) header fields. This API is included with the "Chilkat MIME" license. ("Chilkat MIME" may be referred to as "Chilkat S/MIME" on some chilkatsoft.com web pages. They are the same product.)

Object Creation

dkim.DisposeDkim()

Properties

AbortCurrent
func (dkim *Dkim) AbortCurrent() bool
func (dkim *Dkim) SetAbortCurrent(b bool)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

When set to true, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to false when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to false. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

top
DebugLogFilePath
func (dkim *Dkim) DebugLogFilePath() string
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDebugLogFilePath(s string)

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

LastMethodSuccess
func (dkim *Dkim) LastMethodSuccess() bool
func (dkim *Dkim) SetLastMethodSuccess(b bool)

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

top
VerboseLogging
func (dkim *Dkim) VerboseLogging() bool
func (dkim *Dkim) SetVerboseLogging(b bool)

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
VerifyInfo
func (dkim *Dkim) VerifyInfo() string

  "publicKey": "MIGfMA0GCSq...z6uqeQIDAQAB",

Methods

DkimSign
func (dkim *Dkim) DkimSign(mimeData *BinData) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Constructs and prepends a DKIM-Signature header to the MIME passed in mimeData. Prior to calling this method, your program must set both the DkimDomain and DkimSelector properties, and it must load a private key by calling SetDkimPrivateKey.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
DkimVerify
func (dkim *Dkim) DkimVerify(sigIndex int, mimeData *BinData) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Verifies the Nth DKIM-Signature header in the mimeData. (In most cases, there is only one signature.) The 1st signature is at sigIndex 0.

On return, the VerifyInfo property will contain additional information about the DKIM-Signature that was verified (or not verified).

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
DomainKeySign
func (dkim *Dkim) DomainKeySign(mimeData *BinData) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Constructs and prepends a DomainKey-Signature header to the MIME passed in mimeData. Prior to calling this method, your program must set both the DomainKeyDomain and DomainKeySelector properties, and it must load a private key by calling SetDomainKeyPrivateKey.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
DomainKeyVerify
func (dkim *Dkim) DomainKeyVerify(sigIndex int, mimeData *BinData) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Verifies the Nth DomainKey-Signature header in the mimeData. (In most cases, there is only one signature.) The 1st signature is at sigIndex 0.

On return, the VerifyInfo property will contain additional information about the DKIM-Signature that was verified (or not verified).

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
LoadPublicKey
func (dkim *Dkim) LoadPublicKey(selector string, domain string, publicKey string) bool

Caches a public key to be used for verifying DKIM and DomainKey signatures for a given selector and domain. The publicKey is a string containing an RSA public key in any text format, such as XML, PEM, etc. This method will automatically detect the format and load the public key correctly. This method is useful for testing DKIM and DomainKey verification when your public key has not yet been installed in DNS.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
LoadPublicKeyFile
func (dkim *Dkim) LoadPublicKeyFile(selector string, domain string, publicKeyFilepath string) bool

Caches a public key to be used for verifying DKIM and DomainKey signatures for a given selector and domain. The publicKeyFilepath is a filepath of an RSA public key in any format. This method will automatically detect the format and load the public key correctly. This method is useful for testing DKIM and DomainKey verification when your public key has not yet been installed in DNS.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
LoadTaskCaller
func (dkim *Dkim) LoadTaskCaller(task *Task) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.80

Loads the caller of the task's async method.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
NumDkimSigs
func (dkim *Dkim) NumDkimSigs(mimeData *BinData) int
Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

Returns the number of DKIM-Signature header fields found in mimeData.

top
NumDomainKeySigs
func (dkim *Dkim) NumDomainKeySigs(mimeData *BinData) int
Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

Returns the number of DomainKey-Signature header fields found in mimeData.

top
PrefetchPublicKey
func (dkim *Dkim) PrefetchPublicKey(selector string, domain string) bool

Useful if your application is going to verify many emails from a single domain (or a few domains). This eliminates the need to do a DNS lookup to fetch the public key each time an email's DKIM or DomainKey signature is verified.

This method may be called multiple times -- once for each selector/domain to be pre-fetched. The verify methods (VerifyDkimSignature and VerifyDomainKeySignature) will use a pre-fetched key if the selector and domain match.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
PrefetchPublicKeyAsync (1)
func (dkim *Dkim) PrefetchPublicKeyAsync(selector string, domain string, task chan *Task)

Creates an asynchronous task to call the PrefetchPublicKey method with the arguments provided.
