About the DKIM Checker

The DKIM Checker queries the DKIM public key TXT record for a domain and selector, showing you the key algorithm, size, flags and full public key. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is the cryptographic half of modern email authentication — it puts a signature on every outbound message using a private key held by your mail server, and receivers verify that signature against the public key you publish in DNS.

Because DKIM keys live at selector-specific hostnames (`selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com`), verifying setup means knowing which selectors your mail platform uses. Google Workspace uses `google` by default; Microsoft 365 uses `selector1` and `selector2`; Mailchimp uses `k1`; SendGrid uses `s1` and `s2`. This tool lets you enter any selector and confirm the key is published, well-formed and using a modern key size (2048-bit RSA is today's standard).

Use DKIM Checker whenever you set up a new sending platform, rotate keys as part of your security hygiene, or debug why a domain's DMARC is failing. A missing or malformed public key silently breaks DKIM verification, which cascades into DMARC failure and inbox-placement problems.

Frequently asked questions

A short label that lets you publish multiple DKIM keys for the same domain simultaneously, at `selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com`. Selectors make zero-downtime key rotation possible — publish the new key under a new selector, cut over the mail server, then remove the old selector.
