# The PhoenixDKIM Home Page

Welcome the PhoenixDKIM project, and thank you for your interest.

What is PhoenixDKIM? It is a mail filter for DKIM verifying and signing, with a focus on security, correctness, and compatibility with current platforms. It aims (for now) to be a drop-in replacement for existing OpenDKIM deployments.

PhoenixDKIM was forked from OpenDKIM early 2026 as a personal project to bring the seemingly abandonned OpenDKIM up to date, so that I could keep using it, rather than switch to another DKIM solution.

As of 24 May 2026, upstream OpenDKIM has received updates to the develop branch. Keep an eye on the original project in case they bring it fully up to date.

As an Internet facing daemon, handling raw data directly from external networks, it is critical that it be kept up to date, and is as secure and correct as possible.
