DKIM Implementation Tutorial: Boost Email Credibility with StackCP Dashboard

To ensure your #email doesn't end up in spam, three elements are crucial - adding an SPF record; implementing a DKIM signature; establishing a #DMARC policy.

In this video tutorial, we'll look into the DKIM signature. A DomainKeys Identified Mail signature is a digital signature in an email's header. It verifies that the email originated from the claimed domain and its content remained unchanged during transit.

This helps prevent email spoofing and phishing. Before creating a DKIM signature, let's conduct an email score test without it. Go to mail-test.com, copy the test email address, then from the #StackCP dashboard, open your webmail, compose a new email, enter the test address, and send it.

Then check the mail test dot com. The score is 7 out of 10, with a notification saying, "Your message is not signed with DKIM." Now, let's add a DKIM signature. In your StackCP dashboard, go to Domainkeys, select your domain, and in the Selector field, type 's1' or your choice. There are advanced options for experienced users.

Click 'Add Signature', and your signature records are created. Let's see if there are any changes in our email score. Refresh the mail-test.com page, copy the test email address, compose a new email, enter the test address, and send it.

The score is now 8.2 out of 10, with a notification, "Your DKIM signature is valid." ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5awzZlg0ENc
