How to Set Up/Modify DKIM for Dyn
DKIM is an industry-standard method for associating a domain name to an email so the recipient can validate the legitimacy of the message. Moreover, DKIM requires two TXT records to be created in your DNS configuration. To set up DKIM for approved senders, follow the below steps:
1. Log in to your Dyn account
2. Open Approved Senders view
3. Select the approved sender to add DKIM settings
4. Select No in DKIM column to open DKIM set up window (follow instructions and click Continue)
5. Use generated hostnames in DNS TXT Record 1 and DNS TXT Record 2 fields to create new protocols in DNS configuration (e.g., support_domainkey.yourdomain.com)
6. Use information in Value/Data fields to create TXT record within respective protocols
As a user of this outbound email provider, Dyn customers are afforded DKIM signing because it supports that mechanism. By utilizing Dyn’s self-service portal, you can manually set up DKIM at your convenience via TXT records mentioned above. Overall, this Dyn product provides beneficial components (e.g., DKIM signing, custom DKIM records, self-service set up with TXT records) that result in a streamlined process.
