Right, I've fixed my dns issues. Problem was my iptables firewall... I had forgotten to open port UDP 53 for DNS when I last reconfigured my firewall.

Now the issue is with dkim, and specifically error messages I get after following your tutorial. When I put this in my db.curiouslegends.com.au file:

2010._domainkey.curiouslegends.com.au. IN   TXT "k=rsa; t=y; p=(real key)"

I get this error:

curiouser@curioushost:/etc/mail$ named-checkzone curiouslegends.com.au /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au
dns_rdata_fromtext: /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au:26: unbalanced quotes
dns_master_load: /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au:27: label too long
dns_master_load: /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au:28: label too long
dns_master_load: /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au:29: syntax error
zone curiouslegends.com.au/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/db.curiouslegends.com.au failed: unbalanced quotes
zone curiouslegends.com.au/IN: not loaded due to errors.

Those lines are specific top the above TXT. Then when I run dig I get:

curiouser@curioushost:/etc/mail$ dig @ns.curiouslegends.com.au TXT curiouslegends.com.au

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> @ns.curiouslegends.com.au TXT curiouslegends.com.au

I've now removed the TXT entry above, and now named-checkzone loads fine, and with dig I get:

curiouser@curioushost:/etc/mail$ dig @ns.curiouslegends.com.au TXT curiouslegends.com.au

Can you tell me what's going wrong here? It seems specific to your guide for opendkims. Thanks.

Bump....

Could you please help? The issue I'm having seems specific to your guide now that I've fixed my DNS issues. I'd really appreciate your help and time. Thanks.

I can't guarantee anything, but I think you accidentally copied it across multiple lines instead of on only one line.

[clegends]

I totally don't understand that... is this related to this post? Thanks anyway for your reply.

Hi - I had followed the instructions in this post last fall for Maverick x64 for Postfix with OpenDKIM worked like a charm...

Does anyone know if it will work with Natty x64...???

I've set up a new Natty x64 VM and will be transferring my hosting from Maverick x64 to this new VM, so just doing a little home work right now on everything.

If anyone knows if the instructions for Maverick x64 for OpenDKIM works with Natty x64 would sure appreciate some feedback...

Thanks in advance...!!!
