How to Use the DKIM Lookup Tool to Verify Email Signing
What is DKIM?
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your outgoing emails. This proves the email genuinely came from your domain and was not altered in transit. It significantly improves deliverability.
How DKIM Works with Correos P Y T
Correos P Y T auto-generates DKIM keys for each domain. You need to:
- Go to Domains in your Correos P Y T dashboard
- Click the menu (three dots) next to your domain
- Click Enable DKIM
- Click View DNS Records to see the DKIM TXT record(s)
- Copy those TXT records and add them to your DNS provider
Important: Each domain gets unique DKIM keys. Do not copy DKIM records from one domain to another.
How to Verify DKIM is Working
- Go to DKIM Lookup Tool
- Enter your domain name and the DKIM selector (shown in your Correos P Y T DNS records)
- Click Lookup
- You should see a valid DKIM public key in the results
Common Issues
- "No DKIM record found": Make sure you enabled DKIM in Correos P Y T AND added the TXT records to your DNS
- Wrong selector: Use the exact selector name shown in Correos P Y T "View DNS Records", not a generic one
- Propagation delay: DNS changes can take 5-60 minutes. Wait and try again
