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 Webpower

Contact your Webpower support team to get your DKIM keys and enable DKIM authentication for your domains. Webpower’s support will hand you over a DKIM key pair that will contain: 

1. A DKIM public key: to be published in your public-facing DNS
2. A DKIM private key: used by Webpower to sign your outgoing emails, that is to be uploaded on their web server
3. Once Webpower have provided your unique DKIM selector, add it to your DNS as a TXT record on the subdomain: 
   dmddkim._domainkey.yourdomain.com

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