+FeministMail uses the [http://www.postfix.org/ Postfix] SMTP server, using SASL authentication through Dovecot, LDAP-based virtual mail boxes under <code>/home/vmail</code>, and DKIM signing via OpenDKIM.  Send a mail to a Gmail account and use the "Show original" feature of Gmail to see if the mail passes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC tests.
-Postfix is configured to use OpenDKIM to sign outgoing mail.  If using a Unix socket to make the processes communicate, make sure the <code>postfix</code> user has permissions to open the socket.
+There are also various tools on the web to automatically test the DNS settings for correctness, to check if the domain/IP is on blacklists, etc., which you can find via Google.  All in all, FeministMail is probably the most complicated service of the FeministWiki, as far as technical background goes.
