DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

A cryptographic signature added to every outbound email that proves it came from your domain.

Published January 15, 2026 · By RAPID SMTP

DKIM signs each message with a private key; the recipient verifies with your public DNS key. Together with SPF and DMARC it is required for inbox placement at Gmail and Yahoo (2024 bulk-sender rules).
