DKIM stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail. It is a DNS record of TXT type and is used for signing and verifying the authenticity of emails. To be more precise, it involves adding a digital signature to outgoing emails that can be verified by the recipient's email server. This way, it prevents your emails from landing in the spam folders of your recipients.

If you use Hostinger Email and your domain is pointed to Hostinger by nameservers, the default DKIM records are added to your domain's DNS zone automatically.

In case the DKIM records are missing, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Emails section

  2. Click on Manage next to the domain name in question

  3. Go to the DNS settings section on the left

  4. Scroll down to the Manage Email Delivery section, and click on Set default next to DKIM:

If your domain is pointed somewhere else by nameservers, you can add the default DKIM records for Hostinger Email manually. Navigate to your domain’s DNS zone and create the following CNAME records:

hostingermail-a._domainkey

hostingermail-a.dkim.mail.hostinger.com

hostingermail-b.dkim.mail.hostinger.com

CNAME

hostingermail-c._domainkey

hostingermail-c.dkim.mail.hostinger.com

After making these changes, give them up to 24 hours to propagate worldwide 💡
