Hi there, so i have got a fresh install of the latest version of IRedMail and i followed the documentation accordingly.

The issue is that my DKIM record does not work as shown in the logs. Keep in mind that this is on an external DNS provider.
So i am NOT running a local dns server.

i think i have all the records in place so i am going to put them in order:
   A mail.example.com <external ip address>
   MX 0 mail.example.com.
   MX 10 mail.example.com.
   TXT v=DKIM1; p=(public key
   TXT v=spf1 a mx -all

all of the records have an @ name. (this might be an issue but even after changing it according to the documentation it still didn't work)

I have googled all the way up untill page 2 of google with no luck, thus here i am making this forum post.

I am fairly certain my records are the problem here, but if someone knows the correct way to go about this please let me know, all help is appreciated. I will try my best to supply with as much needed information as possible.
