I see you have t=1246689812 specified in your DKIM DNS txt record. That means testing. Remove it and see if you pass.

Question
Stuck on a DKIM Issue
Hi,
I an effort to setup a good mail service I have implemented DKIM in addition to spf.
All seemed to work fine but I have some issues with the signature and hope that maybe someone has the same issue and resolved it.
I did make lots of research and several people did indicate they had the issue but for some reason there is no definitive answer that assists me to resolve this on my system.
I run Linux RHEL 5 64bit - Sendmail - DKIM-filter
If I send a email to google it indicates "dkim=neutral (no key) header.i=@dmni.com" I tried hard but I do not understand this. I do have a private and public key and all should be there.
I do start the filter with:
dkim-filter -l -p inet:8891@localhost -b sv -c simple -d dmni.com -k /var/db/domainkeys/mail.ke
the key folder and file us assigned to the user dkim
The dns has the entry:
mail._domainkey.dmni.com. 300 IN TXT v=DKIM1; g=*; k=rsa; p=MHww ... AB
Here is what google says and see below this the test at check-auth@verifier.port25

Hi Rackaid2,
Thank you very much for your answer.
However i do have in my DNS record the following:
mail._domainkey.dmni.com. 300 IN TXT v=DKIM1; g=*; k=rsa; p=MHww ... AB
No T, but now that you mentioned this I see that in google it has this in. I guess not I have another issues that does not make sense to me.
Also further down where you see the test with check-auth@verifier.port25
DKIM-Signature:'20'v=1;'20
'09't=1246851522;'20'bh=ei
'09'h=Message-ID:Date:From
'09''20'Content-Type:Conte
'09'b=
which is the actual key and it does not have the test tag in there.
Best wishes,
Thom
Hi,
After some research I was told that this t= is added by google. However this still does not explain the test I get back.
It says in all DKIM tests "DomainKeys check: neutral (message not signed)"
Here is the port25.com report:
This message is an automatic response from Port25's authentication verifier
service at verifier.port25.com. The service allows email senders to perform
a simple check of various sender authentication mechanisms. It is provided
free of charge, in the hope that it is useful to the email community. While
it is not officially supported, we welcome any feedback you may have at
<verifier-feedback@port25.c
Thank you for using the verifier,

Explanation of the possible results (adapted from
draft-kucherawy-sender-aut
==========================
"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.

Hi,
Thank you very much, I appreciate the assistance.
I understand that this is a very specific issue and maybe not many people use DKIM at this time.
Lets see if anyone can help.
All the best,
thomas
