PHP and DKIM

gchesnut
Server host = LiquidWeb with cPanel & WHM Objective: add DKIM to PHP script sent mail Results with WHM default DKIM enabled: 1) webmail sent via Squirrelmail has valid/pass DKIM record 2) PHP script emails do not Is there a way to activate the WHM DKIM Txt record for PHP script emails or do we have to add a PHP DKIM library and code for the PHP script mails ? DKIM is new to use. Appreciate any assistance and guidance. Thanks in advance, Gary ....:)

    Re: Php dkim Hello :) Are you using DSO as your PHP handler? If so, this is addressed in the Email Authentication document: Add Headers in DKIM If you already use DSO and you enable DKIM, emails sent will not have information in the Return-Path, Reply-To, or From fields in the email header. As a result, DKIM will show that nobody is the sender. If you use a PHP script, you should manually add the headers. The following is an example of a PHP script that adds the missing parts to an email header:

    Re: Php dkim cPanelMichael, Yes, we are using DSO. We are filling the fields from the PHP script; Reply-To with the senders email address and From with no_reply from our domain. We are not filling the Return-Path field. Is not having the Return-Path field the reason the PHP script emails are not using the WHM enabled DKIM Txt record? Appreciate your help. Thanks, Gary ....

    Re: Php dkim Yes, you must use all of the fields listed in the example from my last response or DKIM will not work as expected. Thank you.

    Re: Php dkim Per cPanel Tech Support "It would not work because you would have to manually configure the PHP to send the mail with DKIM signed signatures, something that mail sent by cPanel itself is done automatically". PHP script mails must be coded to send mail with DKIM signature. Anyone know of simple, easy to configure PHP Mail DKIM signature code source. Gary .... Gary ....
