I just migrated to a new server (CENTOS 6.8 x86_64 virtuozzo – vps1909 WHM 58.0 (build 37)). I decided to use Google Cloud DNS instead to manage my DNS zones instead of WHM.
I'm having a really hard time setting up email via G Suite for all my domains using Google Cloud DNS. The problem comes when setting up DKIM, SPF and Sender ID.
DKIM is a pain, because it's too long for Google Cloud DNS, where and how do you split it ? Do you add " for each line ? current setup here
If I want an SPF record that allows G Suite and my server (via PHP) to send emails from @mydomain.com, how do I setup that ? (Current setup : "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all")
All the regular G Suite DNS info are in there :
THE MX
1 aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
10 aspmx2.googlemail.com.
10 aspmx3.googlemail.com.
All those CNAME
mail > ghs.google.com.
calendar > ghs.google.com.
drive > ghs.google.com.
sites > ghs.google.com.
groups > ghs.google.com.
I need information on how to setup all those SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR properly ... I'm not looking for something hyper-secure, just something that works and won't fall into spam or just plain bounce ...
There's no reason to black out any part of your Public DKIM Key. You should also be able to do it as just 1 string. If it's greater then 512 characters that's when it becomes a problem.
You SPF record will be:
v=spf1 mx a include:_spf.google.com ~all - Which states allow all your MX and A records to send.
