How to add dkim in zoho mail

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a security protocol that helps prevent email spoofing and spamming by verifying the authenticity of an email message. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add DKIM in Zoho Mail:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Zoho Mail account.
  2. You have a domain name registered with a registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  3. You have access to your domain's DNS settings.

Step 1: Generate a DKIM key

  1. Log in to your Zoho Mail account and go to the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear) in the top-right corner.
  2. Click on "Domain Settings" and then select "DKIM" from the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on "Generate DKIM Key" and follow the instructions to generate a public and private key pair.
  4. Note down the public key, as you'll need it later.

Step 2: Create a TXT record in your DNS settings

  1. Log in to your domain registrar's control panel and navigate to the DNS settings for your domain.
  2. Create a new TXT record with the following settings:
    • Host: _domainkey.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name).
    • Type: TXT.
    • Value: k=rsa; p=<public_key> (replace <public_key> with the public key generated in Step 1).
  3. Save the changes to your DNS settings.

Step 3: Verify the DKIM setup

  1. Go back to your Zoho Mail account and navigate to the "Domain Settings" page.
  2. Click on "DKIM" and then click on "Verify DKIM Setup".
  3. Zoho Mail will check your DNS settings and verify that the TXT record is correctly set up.

Step 4: Configure DKIM in Zoho Mail

  1. Go back to the "Domain Settings" page and click on "DKIM" again.
  2. Select the "Enable DKIM" checkbox.
  3. Enter the public key generated in Step 1 in the "Public Key" field.
  4. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Step 5: Wait for the DKIM setup to propagate

It may take some time for the changes to propagate globally. You can check the status of your DKIM setup by going to the "Domain Settings" page and clicking on "DKIM" again. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a "Verified" status.

That's it! Your Zoho Mail account should now be set up with DKIM.
