So I advise to enter just 1024 bit to be sure.Īdd key length note tag: Untick (not necessary)Įscape semicolons: Important Note: if you are using/administering a BIND dns server then the semicolons (' ') need to be 'escaped' with a backslash and entered as '\ ' - in this case you will need to Tick this setting.Ģ keys will be generated on screen. However, many DNS servers will not accept the record length of this key as it will be too long and its likely you are unaware of your servers limitation until after you try it. Note: you may choose 2048bits but this will result in a longer key. We will be referring to this choice of key word later) DomainKey Selector (e.g., key1): enter " dkim" (without the quotes.Domain name of the “From:” header address.: enter your domain (eg, YOURDOMAIN.COM).However, for those of a more nervous disposition about security, and who want be in control of creating such keys without the use of the internet (involving downloading of OpenSSL software), then an alternative method for creating the keys can be found here: - then continue to apply the generated key strings accordingly (from step (2) below). This step will take you through creating keys using a seemingly trustworthy online key generator. This guide is a simplified yet complete write-up following the easiest method. Other instructions are also available throughout the forum offering similar and different methods.

This procedure details how easy it is to achieve and how to implement it (in 5 easy steps, and I mean EASY).
