What Could Be Causing This?

AWS SES DKIM Tokens Not Published in DNS

Most Common

InboxEagle Detects This ✓

AWS SES provides DKIM tokens, but you must publish them in DNS. Missing records = failing DKIM.

How to confirm:

In AWS SES console, check if DKIM tokens show "verified". If not, DNS records are missing or not propagated.

Fix Playbook

Step 1: Publish AWS SES DKIM Tokens in Route53

MinutesImpact: High

In AWS SES console, go to Identities > select domain > DKIM
Copy the three DKIM tokens (CNAME records)
In Route53, add three CNAME records with the tokens
Wait for DNS propagation (5 min to 48 hours)
In AWS SES, verify DKIM tokens show "verified"

AWS SES-Specific Note:

AWS SES DKIM setup is straightforward if using Route53. If using external DNS, copy tokens manually.
