I tried to set up AWS SES for my emails, but the DKIM verification took too long. Here is how I solve it.
Notes: Always check this list first from the official documentation
The problem
For me, it was this part:
“Your DNS provider appended the domain name to the end of the DNS record”.
The Solution
I didn’t realize that NameCheap, the DNS provide I used, appending my domain name automatically. Therefore I need to remove my domain information. Both on DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Custom MAIL FROM domain (if you use it).
So, for example if the CNAME name suggested:
randomstring._domainkey.mydomainname.comI’ll use this part only
randomstring._domainkeySo is for the CUSTOM MAIL section.
If they suggested
mail.mydomainname.comThen, just use
mailHow long does it took for me for the domains to be verified? It may only take 15-30 minutes after that.
