Is OpenDKIM and OpenDMARC supported in RHEL?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7,8,9

Issue

Are opendkim and opendmarc packages for antiphishing, antispam, authentication of messages and reporting of observed traffic shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and supported?

Resolution

  • The opendkim and opendmarc are provided in EPEL repository.
  • There are currently no plans to ship opendkim and opendmarcpackages with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Root Cause

The opendkim and opendmarc projects were evaluated from security, development maturity, community contribution and upstream responsiveness to reported issues as well as from business impact perspective. Since major deficiencies (unresolved issues, including severe CVEs, unmerged pull-requests) were identified, it was decided to keep both projects maintained in EPEL repository and not eligible for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the foreseeable future (Jul 2020).
