I’m very new to the world of mail servers and have been following all the information I can find to get one set up on an Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 vm with Mail-in-a-box. Everything works, but mail-tester.com indicates my DKIM record is invalid. Here’s what my zone file looks like:
$ORIGIN zetamacs.com. $TTL 1800 zetamacs.com.

(Sorry that it’s such a disorganized mess)
Is there a syntax error in here I haven’t seen? Any help would be appreciated!

Everything looked ok to me when I looked this over so I pasted your DKIM into this tool which indicates it is valid. I would retry the check after 24 hours in case mail-tester was getting cached DNS records for some reason.
