Thanks also for the well-wishes, may your DKIM signed emails delivery be swift and may snailmailr.com go well!

Good luck to your pocketsmith application.

@Dave – these are pretty standard – k=rsa is the key type i believe, t=y means this is in test mode, and then p= is the content from public.key. Let me know if you need any more help

DKIM Signing – skipped

In /var/log/mail.log

Did you ever come across this and if so any pointers at to how to solve it…i feel like i’ve tried everything!

Pleased you found the article useful!

Thanks heaps for putting up that pastie plain-text version – I’ll edit the post and put this in it as well.

In terms of the mail configuration, the below is what we use:

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => “localhost”,
:port => “587″,
:domain => “mail.pocketsmith.com”
}

Perhaps forcing :address to be localhost could be it?

Our mail setup is in config/initializers/mail.rb, just for conveniences sake (feels nicer here than environment.rb).

I don’t believe there should be a period after it – a period (I believe) invokes that ‘this is the final field – don’t put the domain this relates to after it’. For example, when setting up the A records for pocketsmith.com, the record does need to have the dot – ‘pocketsmith.com.’ as the field – however when I’m doing a subdomain (which the domainkey thing pretty much is) I want pocketsmith.com to be appended after it – hence no dot. I’m pretty sure this is right – regardless it works so it is likely correct

Anyway, if you want to go back so you can do both DomainKeys and DKIM, try and throw in the :address => “localhost” in your mail settings and see if that helps along – if it does, I’ll update the post with this.

Thanks Brian!
