I have a domain that is registered with google domains. I want to use Amazon SES on it so I verified the domain (done) and now I am trying to set up DKIM.
Following Amazons guidelines we have to add three CNAME records to the domain. I set them up in google domains and if I dig one of them I see:
; <<>> DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.13-Ubuntu <<>> <key1>._domainkey.<site>.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

So I expect the record is correctly set up. But Amazon SES keep failing in validating (and doesn't explain why).
I read this answer hoping to find a solution but this doesn't apply to my situation.
