A DKIM record (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a critical email authentication method that adds a digital DKIM signature to your outgoing emails. This cryptographic signature proves your messages haven’t been altered in transit, helping inboxes verify their legitimacy. Without proper DKIM setup, your emails risk being flagged as spam or phishing attempts – even if you’re a trusted sender.
If your DKIM verification keeps failing, check for mismatched DKIM selectors, expired keys, or DNS propagation delays. SkySenders will find out exactly why your DKIM is failing – whether it’s incorrect public/private key pairing or misconfigured TXT records. For quick setup, call our skysenders experts today, especially when setting up DKIM for Gmail or Office365.
To maximize email deliverability, pair DKIM with SPF and DMARC (a trio called “email authentication 101”). Regularly test your DKIM signature and rotate keys every 6-12 months to prevent vulnerabilities.
Remember: A valid DKIM record doesn’t just prevent spam flags – it builds sender reputation, ensuring your cold emails reach the inbox.
