DKIM
An email authentication standard that attaches a digital signature to outgoing messages to verify their origin and integrity. The signature allows receiving servers to confirm that the email was sent by an authorized source and was not altered in transit.
Core Facts
Professional email sending practices include using mailbox warm-up tools to build domain reputation, configuring SPF/DKIM/DMARC domain authentication records, and controlling daily sending volume and sending intervals.
Traditional anti-spam technology stacks rely on verification mechanisms such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, as well as algorithms such as Bayesian filters for after-the-fact filtering.
SPF declares authorized IPs via DNS TXT records, DKIM adds a digital signature to email headers via asymmetric encryption to verify that content has not been tampered with, and DMARC defines handling policies for authentication failures and provides aggregate reports.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Going directly through SMTP means sending reputation depends on the domain of the mailbox or mail service used, and the sending domain needs SPF, DKIM and other verification records configured, otherwise mail is more likely to land in the spam folder.
The author built an email deliverability check API that in one call returns SPF/DKIM/DMARC/MX/rDNS verdicts for a domain, along with remediation tips.
The three protocols SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are all bound to the sending domain, not to the Gmail account itself.
Configuring SPF alone without DKIM will still cause many large email service providers to lower their trust score for the email.
Configuring a dedicated domain for each AI Agent is extremely costly, requiring individual setup of DNS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC along with a lengthy IP warm-up process.
Properly configuring a domain's SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records is the basic line of defense for reducing the risk of algorithmic misclassification
Gmail and Google Workspace have built a reputation scoring system that comprehensively evaluates multiple dimensions including a domain's SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration, sending volume, bounce rate, and user complaint rate

A DKIM public key is stored in DNS records in the format "selector._domainkey.domain".
