About DKIM
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a crucial email authentication method used to verify the integrity and authenticity of emails. It adds a digital signature to emails, ensuring they are sent by legitimate sources and have not been tampered with during transmission. This helps enhance email deliverability, prevent phishing attacks, and build recipient trust.

How does this DKIM record checker and lookup tool work?
Open your email: Start by opening the email you want to check.
Access email headers: Look for an option to view the raw email headers or original source. This option is usually found in the settings or menu options of your email client.
Find the DKIM-Signature header: Search for the line starting with DKIM-Signature within the raw headers.
Check the selector: Locate the ‘s=’ part in the DKIM-Signature header. The value following ‘s=’ is called the selector.
Use a DKIM checker tool: Enter the selector and domain (found after ‘d=’ in the same header) into an online DKIM checker tool. The tool will verify if the DKIM signature is valid.
