![](https://hub.safeharboursupport.com/media/KBImages/dkim_blurred.PNG)  
  
This is actually working. When you click on ' Start Authentication' button and if your DKIM record at your DNS host is not propagated you would see a red error message stating that we could not locate the DKIM record and that it could take up 48h for the record to propagate.

The Google tech added:

"Actually before there was green "Authenticating email" status with a check-mark. But that was change to just 'Authenticating email' (I have no idea why)"  
  
So it's working!
