DKIM key at {selector} is restricted to specific services

MINOR

DKIM · Minor · costs 8 points · RFC 6376 section 3.6.1

What it means

The s= tag at selector1 limits this key to the offending value. If it does not include email, ordinary mail signed with this key will not verify.

How to fix it

Set s=* (the default) unless you have a specific reason to restrict the key.

Check your own domain

This page describes the condition. To find out whether your domain has it, run the DKIM test or the full checkup, which examines every record at once.

Understand it properly

This page covers one condition. For the whole picture, What is DKIM, selectors and key strength, or start at the Health Library.

Where this comes from

We judge this against RFC 6376 section 3.6.1. Every finding on this site cites the specification behind it so you can check the work rather than take our word for it.
