to make it 10 over 10. let's check this negative one okay I have found a solution why our dkim is not fully authenticated and it results to negative one because of permission issues we need to change permission for this file to 644 instead of 640 and we'll we'll restart rsbombdi so we're already did that we change our permission to 644 for this file and we have restarted rsbombdi now let's try to send a test email to mail tester okay let's copy this one and we'll send a new message we'll use our email template as usual and let's just click Send okay let's go back to mail tester and let's check
