October 11, 2023 | < 1 min read
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a method for email senders to digitally sign email messages in a way that can be verified by email receivers. This allows receivers to verify that the message truly came from the sender, and has not been tampered with. DKIM is intended to address some of the flaws in the existing email system, such as spoofing, phishing, and message tampering.

Navigate to Administration > Settings > Certificates > Domain Keys to add a domain key for DKIM signing.
In the Protocol section, now select “Domains” from the SMTP section.
