[DNS] Does anyone know why the DKIM Records I have added to my Digital Ocean DNS are not being picked up and validated by AWS SES

Posted on December 18, 2024

I have been given 3 sets of DKIM keys by AWS SES email services.

I have added them as CNAME records - this is what AWS SES requested - and they are CNAME records rather than the more traditional TXT DKIM records you also see.

All three records are in the format:

abc123._domainkey.mydomain.io abc123.dkim.amazonses.com

I have put these on with a TTL of 1800 and waited for many days and AWS is not validating them.

I have tried similar with SendGrid and had the same problem

I wondering if someone in Digital Ocean can help with this. It want to get things setup and I would appreciate it.
