SPF and DKIM issue
Hello,
I have recently switched to a new VPS with another host, but have had a lot of trouble getting SPF and DKIM to pass authentication. This was eventually achieved with my last host, but it's something that seems to defeat the average technician. :(
The domain is on a dedicated IP address, and currently after several frustrating days, with SPF and DKIM test reports showing temperror or neutral, I am now getting the following -
[QUOTE]SPF check: pass
DomainKeys check: neutral
DKIM check: pass
Sender-ID check: pass
SpamAssassin check: ham
The test message to my Yahoo address report the following in relation to DomainKeys check - [QUOTE]Authentication-Results: mta1181.mail.ir2.yahoo.com from=magicalwonders.com; domainkeys=neutral (no sig);
I have asked my host to fix the DomainKeys check result, but they have responded with the following advice - [QUOTE]We have checked all the available resources to resolve the issue with domain key's but unfortunately we couldn't resolve it as it is a bug with cPanel service email seems to be correctly receiving to the yahoo account.
Do I need to raise a support ticket with cPanel for this, or is this something the host should be able get working? I didn't have this issue on my old VPS running WHM, but it may have been an earlier version of the software. Has a bug crept in to cause this problem? Hope someone can advise. Many thanks, Myles

I might be wrong, but didn't cPanel do away with domainkeys support in favor of DKIM -- rather than supporting both? I'm thinking they may have. I remember when various domainkey scripts had been renamed to reflect dkim. On cPanel, you might not have an option for domainkeys support. I think their take was that it was outdated and defunct. m 0 -

I don't know. My online mail accounts, Yahoo, Hotmail etc, are still trying to validate Domain Keys. I found this recent reference (April) in another forum from someone with same problem - [QUOTE]I resolved this: Quote: dkim=fail (test mode) header.i=@domain.com I change Header Method from Simple to Relaxed and now authentication is fully passed: Quote: dkim=pass (test mode) header.i=@domain.com
I'm happy to give this a go, but I'm not sure where to change the value from "Simple" to "relaxed" ? Can you point me in the right direction? :) Edit. Just spotted they are referring to dkim and not domain keys in their solution. Although their original post was about the domain keys!0 -
Hello :) Are you positive the lack of a domain keys record is the reason you are not passing Yahoo Mail's SPAM check? While they may check for both DKIM and Domain Keys, I would presume that DKIM is acceptable and the domain keys check is intended for mail servers without DKIM. Thank you. 0 -

My mail does appear to be getting through and the checks pass on SPF, DKIM and Sender-ID. However the Domain Keys check is returning as Neutral. I used to get a pass on this with my old hosting, but I haven't checked in a long time. I suppose it's possible it changed from Pass to Neutral at some point? But that doesn't feel right to me.0 -

It makes sense to notice this change because DKIM replaced Domain Keys in cPanel. You could always contact Yahoo's mail support team to verify if that's acceptable. Thank you.0 -

OK. Good idea. I'll contact them and see what they have to say. :) Many thanks, Myles0
