Passing DKIM is required for &#8220;Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting &amp; Conformance&#8221; (<a title=\"DMARC wikipedia\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DMARC\" target=\"_blank\">DMARC<\/a>), a newer standard to reduce email spoofing which builds on top of SPF and DKIM.<\/p>\n<h2>How does DKIM work<\/h2>\n<p>DKIM uses DNS TXT records for domain DNS Zone file with a special format. When a private\/public key pair is created, the public key is added to your domain&#8217;s DNS, This is the public key in a format for use in a bind 9 zone file e.g for domain example.com<\/p>\n<div class=\"well   oscitas-bootstrap-container \">1487369782.exmaple._domainkey.exmaple.com.
