Setting up DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an important step in email authentication to help prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks. DKIM uses cryptographic signatures to verify that an email message was sent from an authorised source and hasn't been tampered with during transit. Here are the steps to set up DKIM for your domain:
You need access to the DNS (Domain Name System) records for your domain. This is typically provided by your domain registrar or hosting provider.
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQC... |
The exact format may vary depending on your email service provider or the DKIM key generator you used.
Save the TXT record in your DNS settings.
DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. This can vary from minutes to a few hours or more.
Provide Netset with the private key you generated in step 2 so we can configure your email settings to sign outgoing emails.
After setting up DKIM, it's a good practice to send a test email and check its DKIM signature using online DKIM verification tools to ensure everything is working correctly.
Regularly monitor your DKIM records and email authentication status to ensure they are functioning properly.
Renew DKIM keys periodically for security reasons, typically at least once a year.
Remember that the specific steps and interfaces may vary depending on your email service provider, domain registrar, and DNS hosting service. Always refer to the documentation or support resources provided by these services for detailed instructions on setting up DKIM for your domain.
