Good afternoon.
Task: PHP calls mail(), MTA signs (DKIM) and sends.
1. As far as I understand, TOP3 is sendmail, exim, postfix. But sendmail is obsolete and everyone makes a choice between the other two. And here is the question: judging by the discussions, the choice in favor of this or that MTA is purely personal, is it? Well, that is, how to choose between BMW and Mercedes?
2. Is it possible to limit postfix/exim so that PHP runs mail() on one server, this server sends a letter to the second server, the second server signs and sends it to the World?
Thank you.

I use exim everywhere, it is configured in 10 minutes, signs, sends. I'm not sure that the signature for the proxy domain will work in the standard settings, but it will work for the sender for sure.

I somehow already solved such a problem, but only sending was required there and they did without a mail server at all :) There is a mail () implementation in php with the ability to sign DKIM.

A small essay on this project in our blog:

And so , of course Exim is easier to set up to send with signing.
