DomainKeys (DKIM) and SPF Installations cpanel

DomainKeys (DKIM) and SPF records are becoming a common, and annoying, demand among email providers, mainly Yahoo and Hotmail. In short, both are methods of email authentication designed to verify email integrity, by linking a sender to a specific server or hostname. In other words, DomainKeys and SPF records specify what servers can send email on behalf of a domain name.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer $user
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer $user

 

 

# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/dkim_keys_install <CPANELUSER>
# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer <CPANELUSER>

for user in `ls -A /var/cpanel/users` ; do /usr/local/cpanel/bin/dkim_keys_installer $user && /usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer $user ; done

To verify an SPF record and/or DomainKey, you can run a DNS check:

dig default._domainkey.$domain TXT
dig $domain TXT

SPF
domain.co 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:108.163.165.58 ?all"

%domain%. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all"

This put
domain.extension. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ?all"

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX it's primary IP forn netcard interface, and not IP for shared or dedicated hosting.
DKIM

default._domainkey 14400 IN TXT "v=DKIM1\; k=rsa\; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDAJXzC1vhEoH7yfJfusEWNkFz6DbcS1Ij/fAGi30HltiprZowdlCKIXq1TIWFjJE2vOOxJCnOSYMjxiLYXBzrDN9jVH8sd8H/ZpVMdvV7PUVPWOlbRYIqLwqBM8dvnxzmEvvrXP1r2nNviWrALARt1kJDr5EI+xzCNvfDxXKGDzwIDAQAB\;"
