DKIM selector {selector} is in testing mode

What it means

t=y at selector1 tells receivers to treat signatures as experimental, so a failed signature carries no consequence. It is meant for the week you roll DKIM out, not for permanent use.

How to fix it

Remove t=y from the record once you have confirmed your mail verifies.

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

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.
