Frequently asked questions

What is DKIM?

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a cryptographic signature to outgoing email. The matching public key is published in DNS so receivers can verify the message was not altered and really came from your domain.

What is a DKIM selector?

A selector names which key to use, so a domain can rotate or run multiple keys. The public key lives at selector._domainkey.yourdomain. Common selectors are google, selector1/selector2 (Microsoft), k1 (Mailchimp) and default.

How do I find my DKIM selector?

Look at the DKIM-Signature header of an email you sent (the s= tag), or check your email provider's DNS setup instructions.

What key length should DKIM use?

At least 1024-bit RSA; 2048-bit is recommended. Keys below 1024-bit are considered weak and some providers reject them.
