DKIM Invalid - but email arrives

This has nothing to do with it. Dkim is only a sending issue, it should not effect incoming emails.
If its a incoming issue then the sending server is at fault.

use this format is mxtools dkim check mydomain.com:selector ie mydomain:2023

:+1: so if I shorten the TTL it would make testing quicker and easier.
(for some reason I was thinking TXT records were instant :upside_down_face: )

No DNS always at the the VM provider.

But I trust Virtualmin to provide me withe the correct TXT records → which seems to be a problem here.

The problem was initiated by Thunderbird reporting to the user that an email sent on the domain (SMTP through the application - a NodeJS app) being delivered with the image posted in #1
Otherwise, I might never have been aware of it. As far as I was concerned the emails have always been sent DKIM signed - this is NOT a problem with Thunderbird sending anything. I even believe (without checking headers) that this user has Thunderbird set up to send via some other server Ionos (DR) So as my version of Thunderbird was uninstalled locally I had to reinstall it to see the image in #1 for myself. (hence suspecting a change in Thunderbird in the way it is reporting alerts on incoming mail.)

MxTools just produces the same errors reported above

You need to remove the quotes out of the TXT

IE suggested shows “v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAmxNOxkiQPXinA” "SL…etc

change to

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAmxNOxkiQPXinASL…etc

remove all quotes (and spaces in the p= section)

The invalid character is the quotes (quotes and spaces in the p= section this needs to be one long strings without any spaces)

Do that and test again.

So removing all the quotes AND the brackets out of the suggested TXT records

Solves the problem
with Thunderbird now reporting:

DKIM Valid

So I have emailed the user who should come back tomorrow with gifts :red_gift_envelope:

Thank you
