Verify DomainKey-Signature Headers in Downloaded Email

See more DKIM / DomainKey Examples

Downloads email from an IMAP server and verifies the DomainKey-Signature header(s) in each email, if present.

Note: DKIM-Signatures are much more common than DomainKey-Signatures. See the other Chilkat example for verifying DKIM-Signatures (link in the code below).
