What is a DKIM Record?
A DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) Record is an email authentication mechanism that uses cryptographic signatures to verify that an email has not been altered during transit. It ensures message integrity and confirms the sender’s domain.
DKIM works alongside SPF and DMARC as part of a layered email security strategy.
What is a DKIM Record used for?
