Enabling DKIM Email Signing

Overview

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication system designed to help and build trust for mail systems as having the authority to send email for your domain. If you’re having issues with emails being marked as spam or junk when they’re legitimate, this may assist with ensuring the emails aren’t flagged.

2. Go to Mail –> Mail Settings:
   
3. Tick “Use DKIM spam protection system to sign outgoing email messages”:
