When CheckSigningTable is set to no, the keys in KeyTable are no longer verified when config is loaded.
This helps with large databases. This commit only adds support for USE_ODBX.

when comparing if (conf->conf_checksigningtable == TRUE)
and CheckSigningTable no in the config, no acts as TRUE.
Therefore, it is better to use != FALSE.

in neither case did opendkim crash. Furthermore, you can solve a lot of these issues with db table constraints.

also should there be a command line option for it ? example,
opendkim/opendkim.c:15594: /* process command line options */
if yes, which letter may I use ?

As advised by futatuki, specify SigningTable instead of the
"database" in the description.

I'll take a look later, if it can avoid crash even if the key entry is corrupted. (But it is another issue)

Currently 'C' is not in use, however it might be the time we shoud consider to use word options, although getopt_long() is not in POSIX...

can we consider the long options issue as a separate issue?
one commit at a time so we dont get overloaded.

ya, sorry, I think it is a separate issue. It is not good that multiple issue in a PR.

This feature may useful even if ODBX feature is not used, so I think it is not need to restrict it on USE_ODBX is true. No other things to say, it looks good to me, for the commits till 906a8b4.

You can freely determine the command line option letter for this feature, if you implement it (perhaps no one complains about it). However if I implement a command line option for checking SiginigTable consistency and exit, I'll select 'C' for it if it is still not in use :)

Allow the use of -C to disable CheckSigningTable (or set to no).
Allow disabling of CheckSigningTable for other databases such as
LDAP. This option disables the walking of SigningTable to look
for missing keys in KeyTable when the config gets loaded.

see commit 898f6ec for args option -C
see commit 35f13b1 to allow for disabling CheckSigningTable for all databases.

lhy is the develop branch so far ahead of master branch ?
There are 127 pending commits, last one 2 years ago.
The master branch has not been updated in 6 years.
When is the next planned release ?

As requested by futatuki, I will use -g for CheckSigningTable
and reserve -C for future option to check the database tables.

As you added a new command line option, it should be described in opendkim(8) :)

I think this project is not working any more. So I made my own branch, maintain it, and I use here as a collection center of issues and proposals of the changes.

Thank you @futatuki . I would like to commit these changes to your mirror as well.
I see your stable branch is 212 commits ahead : )

It would be great if you could add a description about new "-g" option to opendkim/opendkim.8.in? I'd like to see your commit for it, not mine :)

see commit 3fc8cb7 for -g in opendkim(8) man page.

.I \-g
Set CheckSigningTable to no. This means that when the config is loaded,
The SigningTable will not be checked for any missing keys in
the KeyTable.

  • A typo " the SiningTable"
  • The mention to CheckSigingTable option is not so important for understanding what this commandline option does. So it is good to move it after the last sentence of the paragraph, with reference information to opendkim.conf(5).

I see a typo, but in your comment, not the code.
Anyway I re-wrote it based on your suggestion.
See commit 3dabd5f

Add CheckSigningTable config option

When CheckSigningTable is set to no, the keys in KeyTable are no
longer verified when config is loaded. Also implement a command
line option -g for skipping SigningTable verification.
