Hello EVeryone,
This is my website http://workwatch.co.nz
I have the domain registered through Discount domains. But I’m using DigitalOcean to handle all the DNS records.
Everything is sweet, But I cannot seem to setup the AMAZON SES DKIM records with the DigitalOCean control panel.
I entered the CNAME values as given to me, but the verifications on AWS control panel fails continuously. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Sahan.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but usually, DKIM/SPF are TXT records, usually also used for verifications,not CNAME’s - have may want to confirm (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/dns-txt-records.html) as SES says it confirms with TXT records and if you are putting them in as CNAME’s that may be the issue at hand.
@mrcbrown thanks for the answer, but if you see here, AWS gives me this

@timesheetapp007 few followup questions:
Don’t work for DO but have had issues with DNS and Amazon (not specifically SES) but sometimes if it catches it wrong, it can be 72 hours before like it notes, but definitely confirming it externally (DNS Checker is great) might bring up something to fix/adjust or open a ticket with DO specifically if something isn’t rendering correctly.
Not sure which value to enter at dnschecker.org ?
Do I enter xxxx.workwatch.co.nz OR xxxx.dkim.amazonses.com ?
Ones relating to your domain and pick CNAME - it’ll report back general propagation, but bear in mind this isn’t a perfect test, some providers do cache, so it’s a rough idea.
Have you managed to solve this? I am also having the same problem, this is so frustrating, I’m also using Namecheap, it can add CNAME just fine, it only takes 5 seconds. But this Digital Ocean made is so hard.
Hi
I ave exactly the same problem.
did you find a solution ?
Thanks !
