DKIM and Sender Domains
The DKIM function allows you to authenticate your emails to protect against phishing and spoofing and avoid being classified as SPAM. With the DKIM signature, the recipient's mail server can verify that your newsletter remained unchanged during transmission and actually comes from the specified sender domain.
Key features:
- Creating and managing sender domains for authenticated delivery
- Automatic generation of required DNS entries (DKIM, SPF, MX)
- Configuration of email forwarding for replies
- Cross-account sharing of sender domains in tenant systems
- Automatic replacement of outdated sender addresses in existing mailings
With DKIM and sender domains, you can set up authenticated email delivery in just two steps: First, create a sender domain that you want to use in your sender address, then copy the displayed settings into the DNS entry of the domain at your web hosting provider. After successful setup, you can select the sender domain in the basic settings of your mailings.
In the overview of your sender domains, you can see all important information at a glance: the status of DKIM, SPF, and MX entries, configured forwarding, and your default domain setting. With the provided actions, you can view DNS entries, edit domains, or delete them.
As a member of the CSA (Certified Senders Alliance), MAILINGWORK commits to sending only DKIM-signed newsletters. This increases your reputation as a legitimate sender, protects against false classification as SPAM, and meets the requirements of prominent email services such as GMail or GMX.
The configuration of a sender domain includes settings for DKIM selector, key length, and email forwarding. In tenant systems, as an administrator, you can release sender domains for selected sub-accounts, ensuring a consistent sender identity across all accounts.
