How to Set Up DKIM for Websavers?

DKIM uses cryptographic signatures and public-key infrastructure to verify that an email message has not been altered during transit and that it truly came from the claimed sender. Email senders can use DKIM to sign their messages by adding a DKIM-Signature header field to the messages. Email receivers can then use the public key published in the DNS to verify the signature and check that the message has not been tampered with. 

Sadly, DKIM authentication for sending emails is not yet supported by Websavers Exchange Mail. Therefore, you may skip this step if you use Websavers Exchange Mail services.|

Create your DKIM key pair using our free DKIM record generator if your domains are hosted somewhere else.

How to Get Your DKIM Public Key Available for Websavers

  1. Sign in as the administrator to your DNS provider’s administration console.
  2. Go to the DNS records section of each of your domains.
  3. Depending on the type of DKIM record that has been provided to you, generate a TXT or CNAME record.
  4. Copy and paste the hostname and value
  5. Save your record’s modifications and wait 48–72 hours for your DNS to take effect

Use our free DKIM record lookup tool to validate the published DKIM record.
