Bug Description

I use a smarthost to relay my mail. But I want to use DKIM. Everywhere I read that I should set the DKIM_CANON, DKIM_DOMAIN, DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY and DKIM_SELECTOR variables. But this only works for the remote_smtp transport, not the smarthost variant.

So I propose to include the following lines in transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost under the 'remote_smtp_smarthost'. I've placed them at line 30, just below the RMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA ifdef directive.

.ifdef DKIM_DOMAIN
dkim_domain = DKIM_DOMAIN
.endif
.ifdef DKIM_SELECTOR
dkim_selector = DKIM_SELECTOR
.endif
.ifdef DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY
dkim_private_key = DKIM_PRIVATE_KEY
.endif
.ifdef DKIM_CANON
dkim_canon = DKIM_CANON
.endif
.ifdef DKIM_STRICT
dkim_strict = DKIM_STRICT
.endif
.ifdef DKIM_SIGN_HEADERS
dkim_sign_headers = DKIM_SIGN_HEADERS
.endif

(Note that these lines are just copies of those under the remote_smtp transport.)

I discovered the same bug.

This is a sensible addition to correct an oversight that occurred when DKIM was added to 30_exim4-onfig_remote_smtp

I have tested the above change and verify that it works.
