Cant edit dns dkim public-key

Hello

i am trying to get dkim working correctly but i cant seem to edit the blank settings in the dns dkim record. it just displays a no entry sign where the curser should be.

also i followed this tutorial to install opendkim https://scaron.info/blog/debian-mail-spf-dkim.html

 

And why don't you install the dkim-patch? This works out-of-the-box. But you must revert your changes.

 

Hello florian030

i actually did try installing dkim-patch but i get this warming

 

DKIM is integrated in 3.1 - you don`t have to install anything. Just follow oen of the tutorials from howtoforge.com and create the key-pair for a maildomain.

 

Thanks for the help but i am abit lost as to which tutorial to go with. i am on debian . also every tutorial i can see on howtoforge.com all need dkim to be install with theyre tutorials, whether its dkim-filter or dkim-milter.

 

See #2 - ISPConfig 3.1 has full dkim-support. For older versions just use the dkim-patch. There is no need for dkim-filter or milter. The signing is done with amavis.

 

thanks @till

@florian030
thats why i was confused, thank you for all your help and for dkim-patch

i will go and have a crack at setting this up now and report back if i have any problems

 

hello again lads

im sorry yous have to spoon feed me but i still cant figure out what i need to do.
i let apt-get choose which apps i was missing. i look through the tutuorial i can see anything else the would apply to my setup

the input area of the DNS DKIM RECORD is still grayed out and cant be editted .

 

Then how can i enable dkim ? do i just create a dir in /var/lib/amavis/dkim /var/lib/amavis/dkim/mydomain.tld then create a pair keys ?

Edit: if ispconfig maintains these records and they cant be edited. why is their no record at all?
i presume since ispconfig maintains these records i dont need to create any keys or do i ?

 

Lmao i am a silly billy

i didnt realise that to get private and public keys and to have dkim's setup. i just needed to go into the Email module and select the required domain then domainkeys identifed mail. input a selector and generate keys . then over to dns settings and select dkim from the tabs and save and all was done for me lol

i have spent alot of trying to figure this out. when it had already be done for me thank you lol

i done a test with [email protected]25.com
can you let me if this all looks ok

Thanks @florian030 @till

 

The DKIM-Record should exists in the DNS-Zone when you create the key-pair. To debug your dkim-key: http://blog.schaal-24.de/dkim/debug-2/?lang=en

 

im a happy man now everything sorted and working, pass the amavisd-new testkey. well almost everything . i cant have a key larger than 1024 but thats something to work on. when i figure out how to change the tables
is larger better anyway ??

 

you can use a key > 1024 if you are running bind as your dns.

 

Thanks again guys

i got the tables updated and now i can have larger keys well chuffed
