What Is DKIM?
DKIM is used to help prevent entities from sending emails that look like they are coming from your domain. When you configure DKIM, you are authorizing your domain to be associated to an email by using a digital signature. External email systems that receive email from your domain can use this signature to confirm that the email legitimate.
