DKIM DNS TXT record

email

forum:linoobSteve 13 years, 2 months ago

I just setup dkim using opendkim on an ubuntu 10.04 server. Everything seemed to go smoothly but when I send a test email to autorespond+dkim[at]dk.elandsys.com, I get the following:

> The results are as follows:

DKIM Signature validation: not available

DKIM Author Domain Signing Practices: no DNS record for adsp.domainkey..com

ADSP is not required for DKIM signature validation.

Note: The authentication results are not available as

there was no signature header or the signature could

not be verified

I set the TXT record as follows:

TTL: Default

(Note that there are no line breaks in the actual entry.)

I waited at least a half hour to give the nameserver time to update. What am I missing?

Your DNS record is currently being published at "securifieds.domainkey.securifieds.com", looking at the output of the email it looks like the record should be at "adsp._domainkey.securifieds.com ".

Assuming the email is proving the correct location for your TXT record you would want to rename it "adsp.domainkey".

Actually, it turns out that my opendkim config file was a little screwy, but thanks for pointing me in the right general direction.

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread in the future, it should be made clear that this advice is totally wrong. ADSP is an optional extra record with a completely different format that would tell everyone your DKIM signing policy, and is not required at all. The OP simply wasn't signing the message with DKIM.
