You just solved my biggest problem man. This has been haunting me for a year now, funny i found your video this late. I just cant explain how i feel. Thanks A Lot!!!
Hello man, I want to ask a question to you as this DKIM setup has solved your problem. I am also having an issue on my mail server, mail to yahoo or mail from yahoo cannot be sent as yahoo has blocked our domain. So, I have talked with yahoo and they did not give us the right solution but said to follow the best way to setup SMTP-server. So after research, I found that DKIM with postfix can fix this issue. So, I want to know if you were having the same kind of issue and if after following this tutorial you have solved this issue then I would also like to follow the procedure. P.S.: If you see this comment, please respond. I am having a major issue with our yahoo clients. I hope you understand :)
@@sushankunwar8875 chances are Yahoo is also partially relying on third-party data such as Blacklist excetera. Email problems are nasty to deal with especially with some areas being a black hole. For example this past weekend Gmail had some major issues. Let me know your email if you want to talk about it
Thanks! I'll try to get this working on my Linux box. Most videos on SPF, DKIM and DMARC work their examples on Windows Server + some Windows-only mailer, but no biggie.
Lazy or not its the dummest thing you can do. Your private key is suppose to be private, if you use a public service you might as well not bother setting up DKIM in the first place.
Okay. You need access to the server that hosts your email for your domain. If you don't know what I'm talkin about chances are you're using email from a service provider such as Google or Yahoo. hMailServer is just one of many choices of email servers for private use. That is simply the one I chose to demonstrate on there are many others to choose from. If that does not explain it please post the details of your situation and what you're trying to do
This is extremely helpful until sterp 3 for me. I use Apple and Media Temple, and I have no idea where my mail server is, or how to add the private key in either Apple mail or Media Temple.
I have the same question and the same problem. I use apple and I have no idea what or where my mail server is. I tried to search in google. No answers.... Did you find any solution??
@@fotomundos1 I did a whole bunch of DIY work and research to fix this, which did not work. I could not understand where apple's mail server is. I am just using instead gmail, a lot more, as my personal email is getting worse.
first of all, that's not bitrate, rather the LENGHT of the rsa key. Secondly, I think for maximum security one must use a tool running in your own emviroment, as using a hosted RSA keypair generator basicly gives the hoster of that tool to scrape and store your public and private key. Furthermore, adding the dot at the TLD of your domain is nothing new. That's the root. Otherwise it's a good tutorial, just thought you might appreciate my cyber security inputs :) Cheers!
any idea how or if it is even possible to add the private key to MS IIS 6 SMTP on Windows 2012 Server. I've seen some third party tools, but no mention of it on Microsoft's site that I can see. great video by the way.
No... Historically IIS is : NOT Friendly ( which is why most of us end up using a 3rd party email server ). Like your self I would also like to use the native windows components without involving a 3rd party mess. But over the years I just gave up and use HMail server : Which has been pretty good. Chances are you will arrive at the same conclusion... sorry.
I've added my public key to my DNS records but how do I add the private key to my Outlook software? Doesnt it need to be done server side which would be my web host?
hey, with my domain host. if I add a dns record with DKIM it wants a prefix and value. And if I put the name, in the Prefix. It says "CNAME entry is required"
OK, what if I am using Microsoft 365 Defender and GoDaddy. Do I put both Public and Private keys on the DNS?? In other words, by machine is not my email server, Godaddy is I think.
Thank you, lot of reading trying to understand, finally a visual lesson make me understand. So may I asking a question, I point the NS to cloudflare then the email server is on cloudflare or in strato that is where I get the domain name and configured the user and password before I forward the NS.
I'm not an expert on that factor.. but I would think it would be ok. Not much different than having the same password for multiple places. As long as the key resolves properly per domain.. I would Think it would be ok. But again.. I'm not an expert.
Man I have created my own SMTP provider on Windows Server 2016 about a while ago, then it works very well and I don't have any problem except the delivery status, I got the emails into the JUNK folder. I asked a friend to solve this problem but he told me that I need to set the SPF, RDNS, MX-Records to get a high rate of email delivery, I hope to find me a right solution for this issue :)
I've loved this video until step 3. Interesting enough, I have not been able to find this step slowed down anywhere, I don't even know where to find this screen in my computer at it's blurry on the video... If someone could break this step down, it would be great!
Hi, your tutorial on DKIM is excellent. i also create DKIM for my domain on hmailserver but all email client showing my dkim is failed. As error is dkim=neutral (body hash did not verify). how to resolve this? And can we give space in v=DKIM1;(space) t=s;(space)k=rsa;(space)p=publickey ??
If you did not try the generator are used in the video try another generator that might give a more clear output of the key. A failure in the HASH implies that it is a problem with the key generation
there are so many different male servers I could never know the mall. If it's not very intuitive then chances are it's not very well developed so you might consider something else
Can you guide me how to enter (setup) private key with goDaddy cpanel? Please note that I don't have access of WHM in goDaddy for my domain, and goDaddy people have no "Authentication" options under email category of cPanel. Any help....?
There is a way to use OPENSSL and it's pathetically simple. However... getting it all setup is a bitch. If you're on Windows the easiest way is to use the GITHub windows installer which comes with a version of OPENSSL. Then just use that one. It's weird... but easier than going through the OPENSSL Source which is only written for LINUX and requires Shady 3rd party installers.
@@RAZR_Channel we are not spamming peoples 🙄🙄 solving some one's problem do you thing its a spam? Spam is just your gonna bombard weird stuff to people that they dont want.
@@xtylishjutt9504 As I mentioned.... you need to accept that : You are SPAMMING. Your industry is the reason we have to deal with all this technical bullshit just to send an email. TLS,SPF, DKIM, DMARC, RDNS and on and on to fend off SPAMMERS.
what part are you on... ? If it's key generation... try another generator online if it's entering into the DNS or Email server.... you may have to remove any forbidden characters
My issue is it does not allow to save the Host name as zoho._domainkey.domain name Because it says "Server name can be use letters hypens and dots only" it does not allow to use the symbol underscore ( _ )
This is a helpful video, but DO NOT use a service to generate the keys for you, they are simple RSA keys that you can generate on your machine. using a public service that (hilariously enough) asks for your domain while generating your private key is like asking a hacker to give you a strong password to use. DON'T BE FOOLED
After all these years, this is still the best video explaining all the steps with detail and clarity. Kudos!
It's been over 3 decades... not much has changed in DNS...
I too had spent two days trying to figure this out, as no one else explained the basics for each field. Wonderful. Thank you.
Same here, nobody (Certainly not Microsoft) put it all in perspective like this video does.

Hello, how does the receiving server know which selector to use for DKIM DNS record ?
just love it how you use a public servic to generate your private key......
most people are too lazy to build their own... I actually did and I just use it for my own private use.
Lazy or not its the dummest thing you can do.
Your private key is suppose to be private, if you use a public service you might as well not bother setting up DKIM in the first place.
I totally lost you after 6:56. Where do I put the private key? What is hMailServer? Whaaat?
