My webserver is hosted on Amazon EC2, on free tier, on say example.com. As i'm only using a single elastic ip address, and i don't want to pay for another, i thought about setting up postfix on my webserver rather then setting it up on mail.example.com (which is probably a better idea).
Most documents talk about adding these records to a subdomain, but can i put it on my main domain as well (i.e. example.com). I currently set my SPF as a TXT on my main domain and it passes SPF checks. Can i do the same for DKIM?
I just generated a key on https://www.unlocktheinbox.com/dkimwizard/ and it shows the private and public key, and below selector record and policy record.
While i understand where i need to put my private (postfix) and public key (in the dns txt/mx record) but not sure where i should add my 2 generated records (selector and policy). Can i add them both as TXT records under my main domain rather then having to create a subdomain (i.e. mail.example.com) ?
Your Selector Record:
rsa._domainkey.example.com IN TXT

Thank you.
