I have installed OpenDKIM, and using Sendmail. I am trying to make the outgoing email signed by OpenDKIM. I created the keys, added the txt record, from the OpenDKIM package I understood the search directory for opendkim.conf to be /usr/local/etc/mail/opendkim.conf . I have my selector as postma, my subdomain.domain.tld . I am not sure exactly what the next step is I will make a quick check for relevant information.
Essentially I tried to start it in 2 ways and was unsucessful... one by following the instructions: http://www.opendkim.org/staging/opendkim-README
I followed some instructions from this site such as reconstructing the freebsd.cf file for sendmail : https://philio.me/setting-up-dkim-with-sendmail-on-ubuntu-14-04/ I freed up the socket 8891 on my ISP since all sockets are blocked by default.
this post looks interesting:
forums.freebsd.org
for it shows two different working versions of opendkim.conf the only thing is I thought mine would be working by its default settings , "out of the box"... I may have made a minor modification...
this is relevant because it showed me the build on the opendkim milter : https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/mail/opendkim/files/milter-opendkim.in
var/log/messages - do not really seem to be relevant in any way...
I used the application and tried a few things in the end I cannot get it to start something must be wrong...
I will give a few other details of things I tried but it's largely irrelevant...
two ways to start this is the less probable there's another way I tried using opendkim and passing the parameters... notably the port, domain, location of private key and the selector maybe that's the issue and it needs to be hardcoded... I am not sure
Thank you, I see there's more information but it's already sufficiently off topic so I will look for your help and fixing this issue and getting my server to work as it is supposed to.

Solved - Issues with OpenDKIM
This is a little embarrassing even for me. I actually had worked out using OpenDKIM on my FreeBSD 11.2 server but I had a "oh no" with Bind9.. So my assumption is something that I did to fix that had a negative impact. I used...

I have to add some other bits (e.g. setting InternalHosts) as it was not signing emails coming from the webmail hosted on other box. But other than that, and few small bits, big thanks.
