Remove DKIM selector
- Thread starter William Edwards

Depending on what you want to achieve:
* disabling DKIM signing is best done by simply disabling it in the GUI
* if you want to use a different selector - just create a new one (the old one does not get removed)
* if you want to make sure a particular selector is not used when verifying DKIM signatures - remove the corresponding DNS-record
* if you really want to remove the file it is stored in '/etc/pmg/dkim/<selectorname>.private' - however keep in mind, that you will need to update all relay-domains' DNS entries if you want to sign them again with a different selector (meaning - make sure you have a backup)
I hope this helps!

Hi!
I mean deleting a selector from the PMG configuration. I added a selector with an incorrect name by accident.
I executed:
Code:
root@mgw1-0:/etc/pmg/dkim# rm default.private
root@mgw1-0:/etc/pmg/dkim#Are there any database records I should clean up or anything?
if you create a new one with the correct name then the configuration should be all right
to answer your question: the selector name is also stored in '/etc/pmg/pmg.conf' (section: admin - key dkim_selector)
I hope that helps!
I wanted to fully remove the selector to avoid old, unused stuff lying around
This answers my question. Thanks!
