NAME¶

opendkim-genrates - OpenDKIM recommended rate computation tool

SYNOPSIS¶

opendkim-genrates [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

opendkim-genrates collates data accumulated by the OpenDKIM statistics feature into daily summaries that are then used to compute a recommended rate limit for each signing domain. It also generates a report of its findings, which includes some specific (currently hard-coded) interesting domains.

The schemae that are used both as input (tables from which the values are taken) and output (tables into which results are stored) can be found in the stats/mkdb.mysql file in the OpenDKIM package. The target tables are called "aggregate" and "predictions". This latter table can then be used by mail filtering software to impose flow and spam ratio limits on a per-domain basis.

For a detailed description of the algorithms, see the white paper "Enforcing Rate Limits Based on Authenticated Sender Reputation."

This work is experimental.
