Subject: [exim] Exim DKIM fails to import some keys?
I have just discovered that Exim DKIM appears to fail to parse some DKIM
keys that other systems claim are okay:

19 00:50:18 RCPT: SPF Result2=pass (Partnersresponse.dell.com /
mail04.response.dell.com [142.0.168.187])
19 00:50:19 1hHGnL-0002nj-0r PDKIM: d=dell.com s=dk2016 [failed key import]
19 00:50:19 1hHGnL-0002nj-0r DKIM START:
domain=Partnersresponse.dell.com possible_signer=dell.com status=invalid
(reason=pubkey_dns_syntax)
19 00:50:19 1hHGnL-0002nj-0r no IP address found for host
localhost.localdomain
19 00:50:19 1hHGnL-0002nj-0r DKIM DEFER:
domain=Partnersresponse.dell.com cannot obtain public key

Running Exim 4.92, compiled from source on Devuan Beowulf with GCC8.3
... everything compile clean and works.

We have a strict DKIM policy that is "you sign it - we check and enforce
it", for failed keys ('pub_key_unavailable' and 'failed_key_import') we
defer with a 421 and appropriate message in the hope that the other
party will fix their problem(s).

The problem is that ProtoDave.com says 'Success' when parsing Dell's key:

SELECTOR
Selectors <http://www.dkim.org/info/dkim-faq.html#technical>enable a
single domain to have multiple keys. Some domains, like Twitter and
eBay, use “*dkim*”. Google Apps domains typically use “*google*”. Others
simply use “*default*”. Enter yours here. (Note: Do not include
“_domainkey”)

DOMAIN

Base Domain Name. (e.g. example.com)

How to fix?
