I’ve been unable to add a DKIM using the Digital Ocean DNS control panel because it exceeds 256 characters.
v=DKIM1; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAzLoiRSkXBbu83qXedscb gC7d4kevZRj7eO54SLo4hU/T2kZ1XmuJ203zsa8ejPgG6es7jiSHPOe4OGD5h5Xb 9DkRyOhkTEPe1XjUWU6kXGRy18nHG0iR0cNiNX1VPpFULHEQulkt/mFwN8MDm9Tv YryHcufZ6nM75aJu4an+x4r8lINVd+3GL4SGYhyfDdvH8d3rOefJ1TmjbCcqwkMB rXGjG4PllMhYkTylqCgjST5HQyGrWh6MbyIG0vQv5czf4SehzWeD7qP+0CYEIHW9 BFwZD4OmmZc4DljMaw4x9yIgT41b1XaKnEnw6tnyepJ6CcjR6eoHN0qEioAxFcwu HwIDAQAB
Does anyone know if there is a way of getting this to work

Hello there,
What you can try is to split the record into two parts using quotes and then run another test via mail-tester.com or mxtoolbox. In this way, you can check if the record is valid and if it’s a case of DNS cache and the record not taking immediate effect.
We do have an article on How To Install and Configure DKIM with Postfix on Debian Wheezy
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-dkim-with-postfix-on-debian-wheezy
Once created you can use a DKIM checker tool like the one provided from mxtoolbox or mail-tester and check whether the generated key is valid.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
I had the same issue following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-dkim-with-postfix-on-debian-wheezy
There were new lines in the key, they had to be removed. Also, one of the new lines had a backslash before it which was treated as new line by digitalocean. The key was 238 characters long and fit alright, so those who have longer keys might try following instruction I followed or remove extra stuff - only the data between quotes should go into the field + new lines and extra quotes should be removed. Example
mail.txt:
mail._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; " “p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC5N3lnvvrYgPCRSoqn+awTpE+iGYcKBPpo8HHbcFfCIIV10Hwo4PhCoGZSaKVHOjDm4yefKXhQjM7iKzEPuBatE7
O47hAx1CJpNuIdLxhILSbEmbMxJrJAG0HZVn8z6EAoOHZNaPHmK2h4UUrjOG8zA5BHfzJf7tGwI+K619fFUwIDAQAB” ; ----- DKIM key mail for example.com
TXT field should have the following:
“v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC5N3lnvvrYgPCRSoqn+awTpE+iGYcKBPpo8HHbcFfCIIV10Hwo4PhCoGZSaKVHOjDm4yefKXhQjM7iKzEPuBatE7O47hAx1CJpNuIdLxhILSbEmbMxJrJAG0HZVn8z6EAoOHZNaPHmK2h4UUrjOG8zA5BHfzJf7tGwI+K619fFUwIDAQAB”
Anybody figure this out? The key that I’ve generated from Mandrill is 236 characters. I’ve pasted it in with quotes around it. Seems to not be validating though.
