How to Setup DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) with Postfix and Ubuntu Server

If your mail is always ending up in the "Junk" folder (Yahoo is well known for this), take a look at DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Your email server will sign every outgoing message with a cryptographic private key. Your DNS server is setup with TXT record in the email's domain that contains a matching public key.
