What is a DKIM key and how does it work?

A DKIM key, or DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a method of validating the authenticity of emails sent from a specific domain. When you use DKIM, a pair of cryptographic keys is generated: a private key and a public key. The private key is used to digitally sign outgoing emails, while the public key is published in your domain's DNS records.

When a mail server receives a DKIM-signed email, it can verify the authenticity of the signature using the public key of the sending domain. If the signature is valid, this indicates that the email has not been altered in transit and that it comes from the specified domain.

The main purpose of DKIM is to reduce the risk of email spoofing and to guarantee that emails sent from your domain are legitimate. This increases recipient confidence and helps combat phishing and spam.

By activating DKIM, you strengthen the security of your outgoing emails and help maintain a good reputation for your domain.

How to generate a DKIM key from ISPCONFIG

1. Connect to the ISPCONFIG control panel associated with your VPS

Dans les enregistrement DNS, faut-il garder les guillemets dans la partie valeur de l'enregistrement default._domainkey ?

Bonjour, 

Je vous remercie pour votre message. 

Le nom et la valeur d'un enregistrement DKIM ne comporte aucun guillemet. Si l'enregistrement fourni comporte des guillemets, ceux-ci sont à supprimer avant de valider l'ajout de cet enregistrement.

Cordialement, L'équipe LWS
