What is the dkim checker?

The DKIM checker looks up the DKIM public key of a domain at selector._domainkey.domain. Enter the selector, or leave it empty to try the selectors of the common email providers such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Mailchimp and others.

It checks that the record is valid, measures the key size – 2048 bits is the recommended minimum – and flags revoked keys and testing mode.

How to use the dkim checker

  1. 1Enter your domain and, if you know it, the selector.
  2. 2Press Check.
  3. 3Review the key size and the checks.

Frequently asked questions

What is a DKIM selector?

A name that points to one of the domain's DKIM keys. It's the s= value in the DKIM-Signature header of an email.

How do I find my selector?

Open an email sent from your domain, view the original message and look for s= in the DKIM-Signature header.

Which key size should I use?

2048-bit RSA. 1024-bit keys still work but are considered weak.
