DKIM without BIND - Check OK, but nothing in mail header

jvieille · May 22, 2016, 2:17pm

I successfully setup DKIM (I mean no warning in Virtualmin) on a virtual server using remote DNS servers (using the given info).
The documentation says it is not supported, but I did not see any problem to add the appropriate records in the external DNS servers (appart removing the double quotes and line feeds in the key).
Actually, a check on https://www.mail-tester.com/spf-dkim-check is successfull (domain: web2.see.asso.fr, selector: 2015)

However, nothing goes out in emails. Example of an email sent from usermin:

Is their anyway I can make it work with remote DNS servers?
Or do I miss something else?

Thanks for help

Replied to myself.
Actually, the DKIM Virtualmin setup did not get through as I thought. Because I added several extra domains, it was happy. However, the concerned server was not processed as DKIM.
I just added the server domain in the additional domain and it works.

It was be wise to remove that constraint to have DNS enabled to enable DKIM: people who will dear to go at this place certainly know something about DNS records. The only annoying thing is the broken key.

jvieille Happy to hear you resolved it
Another option is to activate both DNS and Mail features. Read more at https://www.virtualmin.com/node/41827#comment-767585
