I currently am trying to get my domain verified on Amazon's SES and running int a problem that google searches are not helping me get any closer to solving.

According to SES, I have to create a TXT record in my DNS for the domain I'm trying to verify. Amazon gives you the following (value changed for security purposes);

 TYPE: TXT
 NAME: _amazonses.somedomain.com
VALUE: M2sXTycXkgZXXuMuWI8TczngaPIDDMToPefzGhZ3uYA=

I have tried numerous entries in my registrar's DNS manager, but SES still fails to find what it's looking for. I am not a DNS guru, so, I have tried to construct the TXT record from very sparse examples, at best, to try to get this right.

My present TXT record is this;

"v=DKIM1 s=_domainkey d=_amazonses.somedomain.com p=M2sXTycXkgZXXuMuWI8TczngaPIDDMToPefzGhZ3uYA="

Am I doing something incorrect?

Thanks
