http://serverfault.com – I have a single domain with a dozen subdomains for different sites. Each has a separate virtual host in apache. I configured sendmail to masquerad as the top-level domain so that emails are always from the top-level domain instead of the subdomain. Unfortunately, DKIM header d= and i= fields show the subdomain. Since the DNS Record is stored at the top-level domain, the DKIM Check fails. How do I tell DKIM to use the top-level domain? Please help. p.s. I've tried every angle on this and I'm stumped. I can't figure out how Sendmail tells DKIM which subdomain to use. And I can't figure o (HowTos)

ISP's recommend you segment your marketing and transactional emails by using different IPs.

I want to start using DKIM, but since DKIM is a domain based reputation system I wonder if signing with the same company.com domain will impact the reputation of transactional emails, since both them and marketing will be signed with the same domain?

Is using DKIM with subdomains possible?

Hello. I just saw that DKIM and SPF will not be auto enabled for new subdomains. Also, when creating a new subdomain, and a email@sub.domain.TLD, at settings you get "mail.sub.domain.TLD" and this address is not working, so i cannot configure SMTP for that address.

Please, help?! :D

I read through some guides on this and I believe it is possible to have apache respond to a subdomain through ssl. I have domain.com responding on 80 and I do not need domain.com responding on 443.

My domain is domain.tld, where I have DKIM functioning just fine. All of my domain emails are signed, and pass. I have a need now to send mail on behalf of my customers occasionally - ie: send email from john.doe@customers.tld, to sally@customers-customer.tld. I know that I can sign the Email with my domain.tld DKIM key, and it will "pass".

I have a issue with Plesk to set the right path for a subdomain for a subdomain of a domain alias.

The structure I have:

domain.nl (Head domain)

*.domain.nl (wilcard subdomain) (points to: '/public_html/s') domain.com (alias for domain.nl)

It's not really possible to create a wildcard subdomain for the 'domain.com(alias of domain.nl) like I did for the '.domain.nl' wildcard subdomain.

I configured my server and well authenticate email system with DKIM key, SPF record and PTR records, when i start to sent out mails from phplist interface to my users ~50000, my domain is spammed by google.

DNS for a subdomain 41 weeks 2 days ago

I have: - two DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 - domain name: domain.com pointed to 1.1.1.1

I want to point sub domain: sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2 (obviously www.sub.domain.com too)

on 1.1.1.1 I've create a DNS A record pointing sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2

accessing sub.domain.com now lead to 2.2.2.2 successfully

the problem is the DNS records on 2.2.2.2 such as CNAME www do not work means access

DKIM error 2 weeks 3 days ago

Im using several subdomains and each one has an account. I need to be able to send mail from those accounts that have correct dkim. Ive enabled spf and dkim in whm. I've used this command to generate the key "openssl genrsa -out /etc/dkim.key 1024 && openssl rsa -in /etc/dkim.key -out /etc/dkim.pub -pubout"

Do I need to copy public key in every account's DNS zone individually?

I have a machine (centos 5) with one external ip address. On that machine I have many virtual hosts with a few different top level domain names and sub-domains under those eg.

sub1.domain1.com sub2.domain1.com sub3.domain1.com sub1.domain2.com sub2.domain2.com sub1.domain3.com

And so on...
