How to Set Up DKIM for Email

Publish the DNS key used to verify cryptographic signatures added by your email provider.

Quick Answer

Enable DKIM at the mail provider, then publish the exact selector record it supplies in DNS.

Step by Step

  1. Open the email provider's domain-authentication settings.
  2. Generate or locate the DKIM DNS record.
  3. Copy the selector/host and value exactly.
  4. Add the requested TXT or CNAME record at the authoritative DNS provider.
  5. Return to the email provider and verify/activate DKIM.

If That Doesn't Work

  • The selector is part of the DNS hostname and must be entered correctly.
  • Do not alter long public-key values.
