How to set up DKIM for Zoho Mail

Short answer

In the Zoho Mail Admin Console, go to Email Authentication → DKIM, add a selector (e.g. zoho), and Zoho generates a TXT record to publish at {selector}._domainkey.yourdomain.com. Publish it and click Verify.

Generate and publish

Zoho creates a public key tied to your chosen selector. Add it as a TXT record at {selector}._domainkey. If the key is long, use your DNS provider’s chunked TXT format.

Verify

Click Verify in Zoho. Until verified and enabled, Zoho won’t sign with your key and DMARC won’t align on DKIM.

Frequently asked questions

What selector does Zoho use?

You choose it when enabling DKIM; zoho is common. The record then lives at {selector}._domainkey.yourdomain.com.

DKIM is defined in RFC 6376.
