Turn on DKIM for your domain Protect against spoofing & phishing, and help prevent messages from being marked as spam Follow the steps in this article to get your DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) key, add the key to your domain provider, and turn on DKIM authentication for your domain. If your domain provider is Google Domains, Google automatically creates a DKIM key, and adds the key to your domain’s DNS records when you set up Google Workspace. Go directly to Turn on DKIM in your Admin console. We recommend you always set up a DKIM key for your domain, following the steps in this article. If you don't set up your own DKIM key, Gmail signs all outgoing messages with a default DKIM key: d=*.gappssmtp.com. Messages sent from non-Google servers aren't signed with the default DKIM key.
Step 1: Get your DKIM key in your Admin console You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task. Important: After you turn on Gmail for your organization, you must wait 24–72 hours before you can get your DKIM key in the Admin console. If you try to generate a key before the waiting period is over, you might get this error: DKIM record not created. You must wait 24 to 72 hours after enabling Gmail with a registered domain before you can create a DKIM record.
  1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.
  2. Sign in using an administrator account, not your current account aryturner@gmail.com

  7. In the Generate new record box, select your DKIM key settings:
    Setting Options
    DKIM key bit length
    2048—If your domain provider supports 2048-bit keys, select this option.
    Longer keys are more secure than shorter keys. If you previously used a
    1024-bit key, you can switch to a 2048-bit key if your domain provider supports
    them. Read more about domain keys and TXT record limits.
    
    1024—If your domain host doesn't support 2048-bit keys, select this
    option.
    Prefix selector
    The default selector prefix is google. We recommend you use the default.
    
    If your domain already uses a DKIM key with the prefix google, enter a different
    prefix in this field. Read more about DKIM selectors.
  8. At the bottom of the Generate new record box, click Generate. On the setting page, the text string beneath TXT record value changes to a new value and this message is displayed: DKIM authentication settings updated.
  9. Copy the DKIM values shown in the Authenticate email window. You’ll add it
at your domain provider in the next step:
  1. DNS Host name (TXT record name)—This 
    text is the name for the DKIM TXT record
    you'll add to your domain provider's DNS
    records. Enter this name in the Host field.
  2. TXT record value—This text is the DKIM
    key. You'll add this to your DKIM TXT record.
    Enter the key in the TXT Value field.
Log into your domain provider for the next step.
Step 2: Add the TXT record name & DKIM key to your domain Log into your domain provider and add the DKIM information you got in Step 1.

Turn off DKIM We don’t recommend turning off DKIM for your domain. Without DKIM, hackers and other malicious users can impersonate your domain, and send messages that appear to come from your organization or domain. Messages from your domain are also more likely to be sent to spam. If you must turn off DKIM, follow the the steps in Turn off DKIM.
Step 4: Verify DKIM authentication is on
  1. Send an email message to someone who is using Gmail or Google Workspace. (You can't verify DKIM is on by sending yourself a test message.)
  2. Open the message in the recipient's inbox and find the entire message header. Note: Steps to view the message header differ for different email applications. To show message headers in Gmail, next to Reply, click More and thenShow original.
  3. In the message header, look for Authentication-Results. Receiving services use different formats for incoming message headers, however the DKIM results should say something like DKIM=pass or DKIM=OK.
If the message header doesn't include a line about DKIM, messages sent from your domain aren't signed with DKIM:
