It doesn't show in the cPanel interface.
You must check
dig @ghost.mxroute.com TXT default._domainkey.yourdomain.com +short(replace ghost.mxroute.com with the server hosting your product and yourdomain.com with your domain.)It's different for each domain, too.
When trying to use their DKIM guide, I get the following response "No response received from london.mxroute.com."
Just disable DKIM, problem solved! @jarland suggested it to me before and it has had zero impact on deliverability.
Not sure about London server, but it is possible on Australian one. Open your cPanel, then Zone Editor, select your domain and press Manage. It's there. Just keep in mind that those records are long (410 chars) so some of DNS services and domain registrars doesn't support them.
I specifically paid more so that I could use DKIM.
EDIT: Antreides' method worked, right at the bottom under "Zone Editor". Thanks for the help.
@jarland doesn't like DKIM.
Did you send a test email? If the DNS server is timing out, hosts won't be able to verify DKIM signatures.
Zone editor is how you should get the DKIM key. But honestly, just disable it.
Why do you need DKIM? If it's about inbox delivery, disable it and try me without it. Trust me on that one
If it's about security, doesn't matter because there's no penalty for spoofing email without the signature at any major email provider, so the end user can only have extra security if they both expect it and know how to look for it... Which is basically almost no one.
Also I stopped hosting DNS on the new servers. I guess I need to turn on the DNS server anyway for this, but really prefer to save people the hassle because most try to use it to improve deliverability and it doesn't do that unless something else is wrong.
Yes, I've sent a test email and DKIM was verified based on what was inside of the Zone Editor.
@jarland - I used it to improve email deliverability, whilst for the majority of the times it won't be required, I won't be surprised when I find a host that will flat out deny an email due to no DKIM records. I need 100% guaranteed to inbox, so may as well have it if I have the option to use it.
I've literally never witnessed a provider that required DKIM. Out of roughly 600,000 emails sent per month, reviewing data has never returned such a scenario that I've seen.
That said, I'm getting dressed now and I'll enable the DNS on London in about 30-ish minutes.
Done, tutorial should work now.
There's no such thing like 100% guaranteed to go to inbox, even for £9999999999999(...) monthly.
I actually gave myself more problems when I started using (supporting) DKIM. Good times. Good times!
If I didn't manage my own DNS I would have been going batshit for a couple hours (thanks to my 6 hour TTL)
True, but I'll try damn hard to help you get there for pennies
I keep telling my wife this but I don't always come through.
the urge to sleep is so powerful at times!
@Waldo19 Get an extra set of batteries.
Actually looking into something called trimix.
Well that went from mildly amusing to mildly disheartening.
I joke, I joke.

Sometimes anyway.
Don't toy with our emotions you limp fag!
I agree with @Jarland having no DKIM doesn't effect deliverability one little bit, but under some circumstances having dkim signed email can cause more issue that it worth.
I will give you a example few month back i sent an email to friend who had his emails set to get forwarded to a other email address when the email got forwarded some of the email header got modified by the mail server that broken the dkim the email got rejected at the server it was forwarded to since it was setup to do dkim validation.
But if i sent the email without signing it dkim it would of got to my friend no issue as you can't have a dkim validation issue when you don't sign it in the first place.
So DKIM worked as it was supposed to! This is good news for DKIM.
I know that it work like it supposed, I was just saying that dkim could be annoying sometime e.g. if you send a email to a other email address that is config as a forwarder.
Yes, I know, I was giving you a hard time. :-)
But: The problem is not with DKIM but rather with how the forwarding is done. See, for example:

Careful, liberals are gonna be upset you're using the word fag to describe something/someone in a negative light.
