opendkim-genkey: openssl exited with status %d

This is the error I get when trying to create a DKIM key. My emails are working for gmail fine but failing when sent to hotmail / outlook. I am hoping by adding a DKIM record this will help, but I am unable to create the files due to the openssl error. Unable to figure this out so far.

I have seen answers suggesting the path must include path => ["/usr/sbin/", "/usr/bin"], opendkim-genkey: openssl exited with status %d

My path has these added but it still fails echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

If openssl does not have write permissions in the current directory this error happens. Simply prefix your command with sudo:

sudo opendkim-genkey -s mail -d example.com -vvv

try 

$/sudo openkim-testkey -d yourdomain.com -s default -vvv

The sudo will help you to test the key. It helped me to not have the error you mentioned.
