    Both keys should be created in that directory.

    # opendkim-genkey -D /etc/opendkim/keys/example.com -d example.com -s default
# ls
default.private  default.txt
# cat default.txt 
default._domainkey  IN  TXT ( "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; "
      "p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCxh/I8WtYHR3yUEPFoPbJQGhjjiq3zSZJCvd7hfkFdSBcGCnIKDw6Yv75ej19xSlCxanz56oA3dmRgARh1Y639EWIADx0iFIZQMNuif2ZFCgougXt95xmbh+BwjQDm+l9Loz1/qv+KUrjIXar5p4qBoeJ6JYrugWcNbTAg+3EleQIDAQAB" )  ; ----- DKIM key default for example.com

    for some reason thats not happening over here..
    but i executed this command
    opendkim-genkey -t -s mail -d example.com
    this generated mail.private and mail.txt
    inserted mail.txt to my dns and copied mail.private to /etc/mail/dkim.key
    inserted this to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
    INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(opendkim’, S=inet:8891@localhost')
    executed this command
    # sendmailconfig; service sendmail restart; service opendkim start
    but still if i send mails dkim keys are not included ?
    Whats wrong ??

    Thanks
    Aamir
