DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication protocol that uses digital signatures to confirm a message was authorized by the domain it claims to be from.
This guide covers the DKIM setup process for Everlytic, an email service provider that supports DMARC-compliant, authenticated email delivery.
Add the following CNAME records to your DNS configuration (if you’re using Sendmarc for DKIM management, you can follow this guide). Replace <domain.com> with your actual sending domain:
| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | everlytickey1._domainkey. | everlytickey1._domainkey.eversrv.com | Default |
| CNAME | everlytickey2._domainkey. | everlytickey2._domainkey.eversrv.com | Default |
Example:everlytickey1._domainkey.customer-domain.com → everlytickey1._domainkey.eversrv.com
To help manage bounce handling and SPF alignment, publish the following CNAME record (you will add this to your DNS whether your using Sendmarc for DKIM management or not):
| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | eversrv.CLIENTDOMAIN | bounce-mx.eversrv.com | Default |
Replace CLIENTDOMAIN with your actual domain.
Example: eversrv.customer-domain.com → bounce-mx.eversrv.com
Once your DNS records are published, email Everlytic to activate signing:
To: [email protected]
Subject: Enable DKIM Signing for customer-domain.com
Body:
Dear Everlytic,
Please will you enable DKIM signing on the following domain(s):
customer-domain.com
I have already published your DKIM keys on the domain(s), so you can go ahead and implement signing.
Kind Regards,
Be sure to replace all instances of <domain.com> or customer-domain.com with your actual domain name before sending the email or publishing records.
To update your DKIM record through Sendmarc, please refer to the Sendmarc DKIM Setup Documentation.
