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 AppRiver

Yardi support both SPF and DKIM configuration and as such can authenticate the emails that they send using your domain.

For more information on enabling SPF and DKIM for Yardi please contact their support team. 

Yardi’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 Yardi 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 Yardi’s, you can generate your DKIM key pair using our free DKIM record generator tool.  

Publishing your DKIM public key for Yardi
