Configuring postfix and opendkim socket value

Question

I have the following line in my /etc/postfix/main.cf smtpd_milters=inet:127.0.0.1:8891 inet:127.0.0.1:8893 So then What should I put for Socket in /etc/default/opendkim or /etc/opendkim.conf ?

If you want OpenDKIM to open a listening socket on port 8891, put the following in /etc/opendkim.conf.

Socket inet:8891@127.0.0.1

Postfix will then try to reach this milter using the smtpd_milters setting shown in your question.

Follow one of many, many online guides available for how to set up OpenDKIM. For example the quickstart in Debian wiki.

Why are there 2, 8891 and 8893? I'm supposed to define sockets for both in opendkim.conf ? – user17130130 Oct 23 '21 at 15:02
Well don't put two ports then. Configure one in /etc/opendkim.conf and the same one in /etc/postfix/main.cf. – glts Oct 23 '21 at 15:06

Usually `opendmarc` uses `8893`. Did you install that, too? – Paul Oct 24 '21 at 13:32
