You should enable DKIM if you want to protect and preserve your email content throughout the delivery process so it cannot be altered or hijacked by threat actors.

Activating DKIM for Jive

You need to request DKIM keys entries from Jive by raising a ticket with the Jive support team.

Request a new DKIM public key (for Jive Hosted) or DKIM CNAME Records (for Jive Cloud).  The subject of your support ticket should be: DKIM configuration required  

While raising ticket, please  include:

• The email domain for which you want to activate DKIM
• A DKIM selector of your choice. This can be an alphanumeric value, and Jive requires it to be exactly 3 characters long 

Once done the Jive Infrastructure Operations team will provide you the entries that you need to add to your domain's DNS.
