What is a DKIM checker?

Email signing records explained

When DKIM signing breaks, receivers cannot verify message integrity - authenticated mail fails and inbox placement drops, often after a provider migration or key rotation.

A DKIM checker looks up the public key at selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com and validates the record your email provider published. Enter the selector your ESP documents for accurate results.

Run a free DKIM check after configuring outbound mail or rotating keys. Add domains to TotalSiteControl monitoring for alerts when signing records change or disappear.

Frequently asked questions

What is a DKIM checker?

It looks up the DKIM DNS record for a domain and selector, validating the public key used to verify cryptographically signed email.

Is this DKIM checker free?

Yes. Enter a domain and selector for instant results - no signup, no credit card, and no limit on one-off checks.

What is a DKIM selector?

A label that identifies which DKIM public key to use. It's part of the DNS lookup name, e.g. google._domainkey.yourdomain.com.

Which DKIM selector should I use?

Check your email provider documentation - Google uses google, Microsoft often uses selector1, and many ESPs use default.

Why is DKIM failing?

Wrong selector, a missing DNS record, or a key that has not propagated yet after setup. Confirm the exact record your provider published.

Do I need DKIM if I already have SPF?

Yes - SPF and DKIM solve different problems. Use both plus DMARC for full email authentication.

How do I set up DKIM for my domain?

Your email provider generates a public key. Add the TXT record they supply at selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com, then verify here.

How often should I check DKIM records?

After email provider changes or key rotation. Monitoring alerts when DKIM records change or disappear.
