opendkim-genrates(8)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet opendkim-genrates(8) — the OpenDKIM recommended rate computation tool, straight out of the System Manager's Manual vibe. No cap, this is the page for it. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

opendkim-genrates [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

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

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. literally iconic behavior. 🌈

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

💀 heads up bestie: this work is experimental. Not me pretending otherwise.
