What is DKIM?

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic authentication method that allows email receivers to verify that emails were actually sent by the domain they claim to be from and haven't been tampered with in transit.

  • Cryptographically signs outgoing emails
  • Prevents email tampering and spoofing
  • Improves email deliverability and trust
  • Works with SPF and DMARC for complete protection

How DKIM Works

DKIM uses public-key cryptography. Your mail server signs emails with a private key, and recipients can verify the signature using the public key published in your DNS records. This ensures email authenticity and integrity.

Why DKIM Matters

Enhanced Security

Protect your domain from email spoofing and phishing attacks by cryptographically proving email authenticity

Better Deliverability

Major email providers like Gmail and Outlook use DKIM verification to determine email legitimacy and inbox placement

Brand Protection

Prevent bad actors from sending emails that appear to come from your domain, protecting your brand reputation

Compliance Requirements

Many industries and email providers now require proper email authentication for bulk email sending

COMPREHENSIVE DETECTION

Common DKIM Issues We Detect

Our tool identifies and helps you fix these critical email authentication problems

Missing DKIM Records

Domains without DKIM authentication are more likely to be flagged as spam and vulnerable to spoofing attacks.

Weak Cryptographic Keys

Identifies RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits or other weak cryptographic configurations that compromise security.

Deprecated Hash Algorithms

Detects use of outdated SHA-1 hashing that's vulnerable to collision attacks and should be replaced with SHA-256.

Testing Mode Enabled

Flags DKIM records still in testing mode (t=y) that should be moved to production for full authentication.

Single Selector Risk

Identifies domains with only one DKIM selector, recommending multiple selectors for redundancy and easier key rotation.

DNS Propagation Issues

Detects when DKIM records haven't fully propagated through DNS, causing intermittent authentication failures.
