To verify DKIM for Cloudflare, follow the normal instructions but also turn OFF the Orange Cloud.
Hi, thank you all for the discussion. I have been stuck with the same Mailchimp/Mandrill problem for 4 months now, and no one has been able help me. My server’s tech has tried and given up.
When I try to authenticate domain, I get the error:
*We tried to verify your DNS changes and did not detect the right values. Remember that DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate through the internet.
DKIM: CNAME record for k1._domainkey.MYDOMAIN.com pointing to dkim.mcsv.net not found. SPF: TXT record containing ‘include:servers.mcsv.net’ not found.*
My inputs for Mailchimp can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxtyV7x3Tn_IR1BxdENYVVg4Y2M/view?usp=sharing
Any help appreciated. Thanks
This question was answered by @newhosting2015:
DKIM is entered as a text record in your DNS zone. Here is an example of a common DNS zone, with A, CNAME, SPF and DKIM record… These are just examples, you would obviously enter your own information, but this should give you a reasonable idea.
For A record… Record type is
A. Name Field isdomain.nameand Hostname will beyour droplet IP addressFor CNAME… Record Type is
CNAMEName field iswwwor any other alias or subdomain, Hostname will be yourdomain.nameFor SPF… Record Type is usually entered as
TXT(because SPF is deprecated). Name Field isdomain.nameand the Text field will be your SPF informationv=spf1 a ip4:XX.XX.XX.XX include:_spf.google.com ~all<<<—Obviously that is just an example of a SPF entry, you would have created your own, replacing the X’s with your IP address and your include would likely be whatever you are supposed to be entering for Mailchimp instead of Google, but like I say, it’s just to give you an idea.For DKIM record… Record Type is
TXT. Name field is usuallymail._domainkey,Text field will be your keyv=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC7w+x5d4FaFam3hAcrunEswan+/GhyIunbecru4u4AyabASuc3aGA2r2qerevAteP/ns/Xd6AxEfUnuD8ereswak8hUtUbUdedEPrec//cReWa4rephanewEyudrekaJebrAkefRuspeprad6UsecRUjaSEjac3UtHAd4umuWHteIDAQAB<<<—Obviously that is just an example of a DKIM key, you would have created your own.I hope that helps.
Good luck.

I can confirm that removing your domain from the Name: made it work for me.
Thanks a lot
About the DKIM, I have tried without the domain and it worked fine!
Type: CNAME Name: k1._domainkey Hostname: dkim.mcsv.net.

@kamaln7 awesome, thanks that worked. Didn’t got that both of them need dots at the end.
Working DNS Records for future reference: Type: TXT Name: @ Text: v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all
Type: CNAME Name: k1._domainkey.XXX.com. Hostname: dkim.mcsv.net.
(obviously XXX.com has to be replaced with the domain you are using to send emails from mailchimp)

@snowball: as @slender said, you need to add a trailing dot to
k1._domainkey.XXX.comso that it is a recognized as a FQDN (otherwise, the origin/domain name will be appended to it, so it would be as if you enteredk1._domainkey.XXX.com.XXX.com):k1._domainkey.XXX.com.@snowball: as @slender said, you need to add a trailing dot to

Also, some people have suggested double-quotes around the TXT record’s value, is that required or does it not matter? Thanks!
