Problem:

I would like to see ColdFusion 9 add support for the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) to CFMAIL. This enhancement will keep ColdFusion on the fore front of email authentication support to help eliminate spam. More information is available at:

http://www.dkim.org

Integration is very easy because there is already a java open source library available to sign outgoing messages:

http://www.agitos.de/dkim-for-java-mail-open-source-library-2.html

It would only require adding a couple lines of code to your MailSpooler class, and extra attributes to the cfmail tag to pass in the domain and private key.

Comments:

I'm voting against this enhancment because DKIM should be the job of the SMTP server not the application server. Simply configure Coldfusion to use an smtp server that implements DKIM and you can sign your mail from Coldfusion with DKIM. We've had our Coldfusion mail routed through an SMTP server with DKIM for signing messages for ~2 years. There is no need to add this feature to CF. J.T.

While Mr. Moore's comments regarding the fact that you can simply route mail through a SMTP server are valid, I would love to the this feature added to CF9. There are many instances where the Mail Server available to the develop is a result of corporate policies, etc. For example, many of my clients are using MS Exchange, and unless I use clunky 3rd party solutions with high overhead, I cannot use DKIM. Being able to sign messages directly in CF, would give me this OPTION, even if there are more convenient methods of accomplishing the same thing for others.
