FC8 is ancient...the latest is 12, so an update would probably be a good idea.

And if you're getting lots of spam, load a spam filter..there are many options, so we can 'guide you' to Google, to research which one you want to use, and to find the how-to guides on how to install and set them up.

Hi TBone,

I googled and i followed the link:
http://howtoforge.net/set-up-dkim-fo...8.x-centos-5.3
and i followed the steps mentioned inside the link.

wget http://www.topdog-software.com/oss/d...8.3-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh dkim-milter-2.8.3-1.i386.rpm
/usr/bin/dkim-genkey -r -d mydomain1.com

mv default.private default
mkdir /etc/mail/dkim/keys/mydomain1.com
mv default /etc/mail/dkim/keys/mydomain1.com
chmod 600 /etc/mail/dkim/keys/mydomain1.com/default
chown dkim-milt.dkim-milt /etc/mail/dkim/keys/mydomain1.com/default

DNS Setup
You need to publish your public key via DNS, client servers use this key to verify your signed email. The contents of default.txt is the line you need to add to your zone file a sample, is below
default._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; g=*; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDG81CNNVOlWwfhENOZEnJKNlikTB3Dnb5kUC8/zvht/S8SQnx+YgZ/KG7KOus0By8cIDDvwn3ElVRVQ6Jhz/HcvPU5DXCAC5owLBf/gX5tvAnjF1vSL8ZBetxquVHyJQpMFH3VW37m/mxPTGmDL+zJVW+CKpUcI8BJD03iW2l1CwIDAQAB"
; ----- DKIM default for mydomain1.com

Also add this to your zone file.
_ssp._domainkey IN TXT "t=y; dkim=unknown"

#######
There they mentioned that to add the contents of default.txt in zone file. In DNS in which zone it needed to be added.
Can any one explain me ASAP.

Thanks in advance...

We volunteer our time here. Don't tell us to hurry up ASAP and answer you.

What do the directions say as far as which DNS zone? What zones have you tried?

Hi TBone,

First of all i'm sorry for what i wrote in previous thread & i'll be very thankful to you for your suggession. In the above which i have mentioned there they wrote that to add the content in zones. But as if i know in DNS process will be done in two zones forward lookup zone and reverse lookup zone. I didn't understood that in which zone i need to add.

Can you please guide me.

Thanks in advance...

As I asked in my last post:
- What do the directions say?
- What have you tried?

Add it into one zone, and see if it produces the results you want. If not, add it into the other.
