when i used the dig command on my mac
I received the following output:
5dfapl5einrhttiwdftjlirxhdkyh5nz.dkim.amazonses.com.
It has the fullstop at the end.
i.e. not 5dfapl5einrhttiwdftjlirxhdkyh5nz.dkim.amazonses.com
The documentation says that there should not be fullstop at the end. Which one is the correct one?
Thank you for your comment. We'll review and update the Knowledge Center article as needed.
Hello Sheen,
This is called a canonical name, which is the fully qualified domain name (for example, www.example.com) that you want Route 53 to return in response to DNS queries for this record. A trailing dot is optional; Route 53 assumes that the domain name is fully qualified. This means that Route 53 treats www.example.com (without a trailing dot) and www.example.com. (with a trailing dot) as identical.
This is mentioned in the official documentation of R53 here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-values-shared.html#:~:text=CNAME%20%E2%80%94%20Canonical%20name,dot)%20as%20identical.
If your DKIM verification is failing, the dot "." is not the cause. Please open a case with Premium Support, and I will be more than happy to look into your issue further.
Thanks! Mo
My DNS host is AWS and I'm trying to verify DKIM through AWS, the records are automatically generated in Route 53 but they are not getting populated. when I run dig command CNAME is blank. what am I doing wrong?
