Hello

here is the senario i want to solve.

we have internal servers that we want to sign.

the setup:

server 1 2 3 sends email via our PMG on internal port 587

server1.domain.se
server2.domain.se
server3.domain.se
server1.domain.net

we want to sign the domain.se but the domain.se is has email in office 365.

selector is wecon

so we setup a txt record with what we see in mail proxy DKIM view dns record.

and then we have sign domains and there we have domain.se and domain.net but the dkim signing gets failed. is this setup supported? we dont want to sign all emails comming from PMG as we have other clients use it to send email from our network.

EDIT:

server1,2,3 are webservers and some mail servers some windows some linux most uses there own code to send stuff like web forms from the website to the clients mailbox in the form of website@clientsdomain.com.

we want to sign these mails too if possible like the client adds the dkim record to there dns servers. is this config valid and supported?

Just to have mentioned it - PMG does not support SMTPAUTH (since port 587 is most often used with SMTPAUTH)

Please share the logs of such a mail that fails DKIM signing - maybe then we can see where the issue is
 
Hello

forgot to add PVE the host only allows our public ips to talk to port 587

here is a output i see in PMG

when we used mail-tester.com to test dkim signing it failed.
 
my first guess is that you need to add the DNS-TXT record in slightly different format
(PMG's output in the GUI orients itself on opendkim - afair this works with bind zonefiles - but with most DNS providers you need to edit it slightly
(remove the multiple split string and add it as one is one option I've seen)

see:
https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dkim:weconnect.se:wecon&run=toolpage

Else - can you share the relevant part of you /etc/pmg/pmg.conf and /etc/pmg/dkim/domains
Thanks
 
Hello

i have taken away the (" and "); at the end of the output in view dns record as we are using plesk that is using bind9 in the backend.

will report back if it works or not.
 
see the output of the mxtoolbox link I pasted above - you probably also should remove the quotes in the middle ...

(once the mxtoolbox link says that the record is correct - further tests with mails might work)
 
Hello

i got it to work here are my findings and how i got to getting it to work

we use plesk as DNS host witch uses bind9 as backend so it adds alot of stuff behind the hood.

the orginal output from PMG in my case is

Code: 
wecon._domainkey    IN    TXT    ( "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; "
      "p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwkBHJFqU/IlAOaJ18mgDkdje09dw03BFipm/BSeXA46SaDLblOUqBQ7GDjeYzMQx7UJChy0c8hdtm/1EI/HE3QBVcsDUHMM2X97sD1cHZRhvlT3cGfp6wzKaYXvIj9CTgFwY/Q/VuLlj+lGLQOqXCq0LBFMu0bAVvXnSv1TqSwVYKrye3iH1JIsMM/lDYj1jfU5ecY1yt6SVqk"
      "1Vqgf39rcO5W/Nc5zsA73hrqC1kKYlieq9G9mHz83XYXh4nXXVhdKcJJ4Qkm3Aip/f3koRXIjbb31a4eSu1Oj4u7xat4UsgKazic4b50ZczmyOMXjn3pk0HQERRoLMcdzwTpVtXQIDAQAB" )  ; ----- DKIM key wecon

first i tried was combining k" "1Vqgf3 into one string like so k1Vqgf3 did not work then i took away the ( " ");
like this

Code: 
wecon._domainkey    IN    TXT    v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; " "p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwkBHJFqU/IlAOaJ18mgDkdje09dw03BFipm/BSeXA46SaDLblOUqBQ7GDjeYzMQx7UJChy0c8hdtm/1EI/HE3QBVcsDUHMM2X97sD1cHZRhvlT3cGfp6wzKaYXvIj9CTgFwY/Q/VuLlj+lGLQOqXCq0LBFMu0bAVvXnSv1TqSwVYKrye3iH1JIsMM/lDYj1jfU5ecY1yt6SVqk1Vqgf39rcO5W/Nc5zsA73hrqC1kKYlieq9G9mHz83XYXh4nXXVhdKcJJ4Qkm3Aip/f3koRXIjbb31a4eSu1Oj4u7xat4UsgKazic4b50ZczmyOMXjn3pk0HQERRoLMcdzwTpVtXQIDAQAB

still did not work.

what i did then was removing all the " from the output like this

Code: 
v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwkBHJFqU/IlAOaJ18mgDkdje09dw03BFipm/BSeXA46SaDLblOUqBQ7GDjeYzMQx7UJChy0c8hdtm/1EI/HE3QBVcsDUHMM2X97sD1cHZRhvlT3cGfp6wzKaYXvIj9CTgFwY/Q/VuLlj+lGLQOqXCq0LBFMu0bAVvXnSv1TqSwVYKrye3iH1JIsMM/lDYj1jfU5ecY1yt6SVqk1Vqgf39rcO5W/Nc5zsA73hrqC1kKYlieq9G9mHz83XYXh4nXXVhdKcJJ4Qkm3Aip/f3koRXIjbb31a4eSu1Oj4u7xat4UsgKazic4b50ZczmyOMXjn3pk0HQERRoLMcdzwTpVtXQIDAQAB

as plesk adds the " in the begining of the txt record and the end.

how it should look like in a normal bind9 config i dont know but i think it should be someting like this

Code: 
wecon._domainkey    IN    TXT    "v=DKIM1; h=sha256; k=rsa;" "p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwkBHJFqU/IlAOaJ18mgDkdje09dw03BFipm/BSeXA46SaDLblOUqBQ7GDjeYzMQx7UJChy0c8hdtm/1EI/HE3QBVcsDUHMM2X97sD1cHZRhvlT3cGfp6wzKaYXvIj9CTgFwY/Q/VuLlj+lGLQOqXCq0LBFMu0bAVvXnSv1TqSwVYKrye3iH1JIsMM/lDYj1jfU5ecY1yt6SVqk1Vqgf39rcO5W/Nc5zsA73hrqC1kKYlieq9G9mHz83XYXh4nXXVhdKcJJ4Qkm3Aip/f3koRXIjbb31a4eSu1Oj4u7xat4UsgKazic4b50ZczmyOMXjn3pk0HQERRoLMcdzwTpVtXQIDAQAB"

As we are moving away from standalone bind9 to plesk i cant test if the above record works.

i hope this helps someone that has a issue with how to implement DKIM in PMG :)
