How do I reuse DKIM private and public key in Virtualmin?

[holck]

I have an old mail-server, running qmail, and hosting a few domains. And doing this nicely with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Is there a way for me to reuse the DKIM-keys from the old server in a new server, running Virtualmin? Apparently, Virtualmin only allows me to generate a new pair of public/private keys. But I would like to reuse the keys, so they can be used in both the new and the old server.

You would need to know where the keys are stored.

this may help some.

It is possible, in theory. I have never done exactly this though when migrating servers, I have applied the private key from old server to new server so that the old DKIM DNS records work across the migration. Take the private key from one server and apply it to the other server. On Virtualmin systems they are in /etc. The filename is dkim.key or something equally obscure.

Thanks, that’s what I did. Now I hope virtualmin doesn’t overwrite the key files.

What a strange thing that is to say about Virtualmin, @holck

Maybe you are using an online translator - and a bad one at that.

I’m sorry if I offended you or others working with Virtualmin, that was not my intention. I’m a new user of Virtualmin, and I have much to learn.
