More than one header can be removed at the same time by using a colon separated

Verification of DKIM signatures in incoming email is implemented via the
&%acl_smtp_dkim%& ACL. By default, this ACL is called once for each
syntactically(!) correct signature in the incoming message.

To evaluate the signature in the ACL a large number of expansion variables
containing the signature status and its details are set up during the
