And to answer my own question... this is something that should be done at the MTA level. First, DKIM will never be a drop-in configuration option - it requires access to the organization's DNS servers for example. Second, signing outgoing mails is arguably less important than verifying incoming mails. And verifying is most certainly best done at the MTA level.

Isn't this better done at the MTA level (i.e. hooking into the SMTP server and/or sendmail)?
