How to use google._domainkey as hostname for DNS record when setting up DKIM.

Posted on February 21, 2021

When setting up DKIM for gmail Google uses the value google._domainkey as the DNS Host name (TXT record name).

This video shows the correct name being added in a control panel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UOQ-miNCAk

However when I use that value for my hostname DO adds my domain to it.

For example, google._domainkey.example.com.

Google isn’t able to find this DKIM record with the wrong name.

How do I fix this?
