(Chilkat2-Python) Add DomainKey-Signature Header to MIME / Email

Demonstrates how to add a DomainKey-Signature header field to a MIME message.

Note: The DKIM / DomainKey functionality is included with the Chilkat MIME license.

# To create a DomainKey signature for email (i.e. MIME),
# you'll need to provide the following:
# (1) An RSA private key in any common file format.
# (2) The domain name (typically the same domain
# as the sender of an email).
# (3) A selector for the domain name -- an arbitrary string
# to identify the matching public key in DNS.

# To allow an email recipient to verify the DomainKey signature via an
# external email client supporting DomainKey or using other software,
# you will need to create a DNS record with the selector
# and matching public key.  This example does not provide
# information about DomainKey DNS record creation.  
# (Chilkat does not provide an API for creating DNS records.  
# Creating the DomainKey DNS record is something you would do
# manually.)

# Set the domain and selector:
# You'll need to provide your own values here..
dkim.DomainKeyDomain = "chilkatsoft.com"
dkim.DomainKeySelector = "salmon"

# Load a private key from any common RSA private key
# format, such as DER, PKCS8, PEM, XML, etc.
# The LoadDomainKeyPkFile method automatically detects
# the file format and reads it appropriately.
# If a password is not required, you'll still need to provide
# a password string argument, but it is ignored.

password = "optionalPassword"
success = dkim.LoadDomainKeyPkFile("myPrivateKey.pem",password)
if (success != True):
    print(dkim.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Load a MIME file into a byte array.
fac = chilkat2.FileAccess()

# mimeData is a memoryview
mimeData = fac.ReadEntireFile("testMessage.eml")
if (fac.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(fac.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Sign it.  This adds the DomainKey-Signature header and
# returns the new MIME with DomainKey-Signature added.

# domainKeySignedMime is a memoryview
domainKeySignedMime = dkim.AddDomainKeySignature(mimeData)
if (dkim.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(dkim.LastErrorText)
