 * Hi,
 * Your plugin is reporting that I have issue with my DKIM.
    Action Needed: It doesn’t
   look like the DKIM record required by Google has been added to your domain. Please
   check out Google’s DKIM guide for details on how to add this record to your domain’s
   DNS.
 * But I have a valid and working DKIM and it passes all the tests on all leading
   testing websites like mxtoolbox and such.
    How to solve it on the plugin?
 * Regards,
 * Udi

 * Hi Udi,
 * in order to verify a DKIM record (with 100% accuracy), you need its “selector”.
   The default DKIM selector for Google is “google” and we are using it in order
   to check if DKIM is configured for the sending domain. But users can change it
   to whatever value they want.
 * Are you maybe using a custom DKIM selector? If so, you can just ignore our DKIM
   warning in the plugin.
 * Take care!

 * Hi Gregor,
 * Indeed I’m using custom DKIM selector.
    I’ll ignore the warning. Thanks for the
   quick reply.
 * Take care,
 * Udi
