= DKIM =

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM)] is a method for reducing fraudulent email. The goal is to make it harder for a spammer or identify thief to send an email claiming to be from your email address. It works by digitally signing all outgoing email in a way that the receiving email server can verify. DKIM signed messages have an added benefit of increasing the liklihood that your email will land in the recipient's inbox instead of their junk mail folder since major email providers seem to favor DKIM signed messages.

== How can I get it? ==

By default, all domain names that are managed by May First and configured to use May First for sending email should have DKIM signing setup already.

You can check by going to the [https://www.dmarcanalyzer.com/dkim/dkim-checker/ DKIM Checker]. Enter `mayfirst1` for the "Selector" and enter your domain in the "Domain to verify" field. You should get a response like this one if DKIM is properly enabled:

== Adding via the Control Panel ==

If you don't have a record in our control panel, you can add one by [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp logging into the control panel].

Then, click the `DNS` tab on the left hand side. You should see your domain name records listed.

Click the "Add a new item" button to create a new DNS record and fill it out like the following:
