How to Add DKIM

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication mechanism that helps prevent email spoofing and tampering. Adding a DKIM record for your business email improves deliverability and trustworthiness.

Steps​

  1. Log in to the business email admin console: https://www.nameslink.com/console/email.

  2. Find the domain in the list and click View Details to open the status details page.

  3. Locate the TXT record for DKIM and copy the Host Record and Record Value.

    The host record is usually default._domainkey, and the record value starts with v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=....

    Copy DKIM TXT record

  4. Add the copied TXT record to your domain's DNS:

    • If your domain uses NamesLink Nameserver, go to the NamesLink console and add the TXT record under Domain Management > DNS Records for the domain.
    • If your domain uses a third-party nameserver, add the TXT record at that provider's management page.

  5. Return to the email admin console and click Verify Now. Wait for the verification to pass.

DNS propagation may take a few minutes to several hours. Please be patient.
