ISSUES USING SENDMAIL TO SIGN AND VERIFY
|
||||||
|
========================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the sendmail MTA in both signing and verifying mode, there are
|
||||||
|
a few issues of which to be aware that might cause operational problems
|
||||||
|
and deserve consideration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(a) When the MTA will be used for relaying emails, e.g. delivering to other
|
||||||
|
hosts using the aliases mechanism, it is important not to break
|
||||||
|
signatures inserted by the original sender. This is particularly sensitive
|
||||||
|
particular when the sending domain has published a "reject" DMARC policy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, sendmail quotes to address header fields when there are no
|
||||||
|
quotes and the display part of the address contains a period or an
|
||||||
|
apostrophe. However, opendkim only sees the raw, unmodified form of
|
||||||
|
the header field, and so the content that gets verified and what gets
|
||||||
|
signed will not be the same, guaranteeing the attached signature is not
|
||||||
|
valid.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To direct sendmail not to modify the headers, add this to your sendmail.mc:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf(`confMUST_QUOTE_CHARS', `')
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(b) As stated in sendmail's KNOWNBUGS file, sendmail truncates header field
|
||||||
|
values longer than 256 characters, which could mean truncating the domain
|
||||||
|
of a long From: header field value and invalidating the signature.
|
||||||
|
You may wish to consider increasing MAXNAME in sendmail/conf.h to mitigate
|
||||||
|
changing the messages and invalidating their signatures. This change
|
||||||
|
requires recompiling sendmail.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(c) Similar to (a) above, sendmail may wrap very long single-line recipient
|
||||||
|
fields for presentation purposes; for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To: very long name <a@example.org>,anotherloo...ong name b <b@example.org>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
...might be rewritten as:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To: very long name <a@example.org>,
|
||||||
|
anotherloo...ong name b <b@example.org>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This rewrite is also done after opendkim has seen the message, meaning
|
||||||
|
the signature opendkim attaches to the message does not match the
|
||||||
|
content it signed. There is not a known configuration change to
|
||||||
|
mitigate this mutation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The only known mechanism for dealing with this is to have distinct
|
||||||
|
instances of opendkim do the verifying (inbound) and signing (outbound)
|
||||||
|
so that the version that arrives at the signing instance is already
|
||||||
|
in the rewritten form, guaranteeing the input and output are the same
|
||||||
|
and thus the signature matches the payload.
