Bug#466433: ITP: dkfilter -- implements domainKeys message signing and verification

This is not correct.  Yahoo! will be moving from DK to DKIM 'real soon'.  
Additionally it's not clear that Yahoo! uses DK/DKIM signatures in their 
inbound filtering.  Last I checked (it's been a few months) they still set 
the test flag on their outbound signstures.

Postfix 2.3 and later support Sendmail milters.  I've been running 
dkim-filter (the DKIM equivalent of dk-filter) for nearly a year with 
Postfix 2.3/2.4 with no problems.

Personally, I wouldn't waste any time on DK.  It's time is nearly past.
