Hmail server – DKIM hmailserver

Visits: 2462

sometimes you  cannot use SES, But the users still want their messages delivered. so here is some info. I hope that it is helpful.

I’ve been trying to setup my hmailserver with DKIM.

Unfortunatly our Windows HmailServer is now depricated.

To start installing the replacement with Postfix, Dovecot, Postgres, Letsencrypt certificate and Roundcube, launch the Complete Email Server with Webmail in the AWS Cloud.

 

I was following this guide -> https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29402

And I created my keys with this site -> https://www.port25.com/dkim-wizard/

Domain name: linnabary.us

DomainKey Selector: dkim

Key size: 1024

I created a pem file;

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
<key>
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Saved it and loaded it into hmailserver

When I set this up on NameCheap I selected TXT Record, set my host as @, and put this line in, minus key of course;

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=<KEY>

Now when I test with -> http://www.isnotspam.com

It says my DKIM key is as follows;

----------------------------------------------------------
DKIM check details:
----------------------------------------------------------

Result: invalid
ID(s) verified: header.From=admin@linnabary.us
Selector=
domain=
DomainKeys DNS Record=._domainkey.

I was wondering if I am making any obvious errors in my record.

Edit;

The email contains the following line;

dkim-signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; d=linnabary.us; s=dkim;

This is what the setup looks like on NameCheap;

enter image description here

And here is the next test email from ;

==========================================================
Explanation of the possible results (adapted from 
draft-kucherawy-sender-auth-header-04.txt):
==========================================================

"pass"
the message passed the authentication test.

"fail"
the message failed the authentication test.

"softfail"
the message failed the authentication test, and the authentication
method has either an explicit or implicit policy which doesn't require
successful authentication of all messages from that domain.

"neutral"
the authentication method completed without errors, but was unable
to reach either a positive or a negative result about the message.

"temperror"
a temporary (recoverable) error occurred attempting to authenticate
the sender; either the process couldn't be completed locally, or
there was a temporary failure retrieving data required for the
authentication. A later retry may produce a more final result.

"permerror"
a permanent (unrecoverable) error occurred attempting to
authenticate the sender; either the process couldn't be completed
locally, or there was a permanent failure retrieving data required
for the authentication.

I can’t see a TXT record for dkim._domainkey.linnabary.us. How does the signature of a test email look? Does it contain the correct domain (d=linnabary.us) and selector (s=dkim)? Also, don’t use online tools to generate secret keys! Use openssl or similar to generate them on your machine. The site you link to sends you a public/private key pair in the response of a POST request. Even if they say they don’t save it, there is no way to check wheather they really don’t, so that key should be seen as compromised already when you get it. – mataApr 12 at 15:33
