These kinds of articles pop up on HN all the time...

Give me a mail server that can use LE for certificates and I'll gladly give DKIM and DMARC a try...

You don't need public certificates for DKIM, it uses privately generated ones for as long as you want to keep them. (A security researcher recently found quite a few domains using weak DKIM keys generated by buggy Debian OpenSSL, more than fifteen years ago.)

I could swear at one point you needed one, but I just half-setup opendkim and it generated one without me needing to make one by hand... when I get around to updating the DNS on my personal domains, I guess I'll see how things turn out.
