Enabling DKIM signing for your domains can help you keep your email content intact throughout the delivery process, barring threat actors from accessing and altering your emails. This helps preserve your identity and eradicate spam and phishing attacks. 

Creating DKIM Record for ontraport

Contact your ontraport support team to get your DKIM keys and enable DKIM authentication for your domains or you can generate them online by using the steps mentioned below. A DKIM key pair will contain: 

1. A DKIM public key: to be published in your public-facing DNS
2. A DKIM private key: used by ontraport to sign your outgoing emails, that is to be uploaded on their web server

Alternatively, if you are using your own servers to send emails instead of Nice ontraport’s, you can generate your DKIM key pair using our free DKIM record generator tool.  

These are the steps to generate DKIM keys and publishing in DNS for ontraport
