DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your outgoing emails, helping prevent tampering and improving deliverability.

Step 1: Access your domain’s DNS settings

Log in to your domain registrar or hosting provider where your DNS is managed. If your domain uses Akashi Hosting’s nameservers, DKIM is usually set up automatically via cPanel.

Step 2: Add the DKIM TXT record (if needed)

• Name/Host: default._domainkey.yourdomain.com
• Type: TXT
• Value: Your DKIM public key (usually provided by your hosting or mail provider)
• TTL: Leave as default or set to 3600

Step 3: Save and wait for propagation

DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate. Use tools like MXToolbox DKIM Checker to verify your DKIM record.

Automatic DKIM Setup with Akashi Hosting Nameservers

If your domain uses Akashi Hosting’s nameservers, DKIM records are usually configured automatically for you. Manual setup is only necessary if you manage your DNS externally or require custom DKIM settings.
