SpamAssasin can only verify (and not sign) DK/DKIM, so that is not an 
option. For outgoing messages, you'll have to write a custom function 
and call it via the 'Sign clean messages' in MailScanner.conf

The other option is doing it at the postfix level, see:

In any case, the important point to remember is that DKIM adoption is 
not as widespread as the DK adoption yet! (though it is happening 
gradually).. and you'll be better off implementing both till DK is 
completely phased out..
