How to Set Up DKIM for Datamotion?

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a method for email senders to digitally sign email messages in a way that can be verified by email receivers. This allows receivers to verify that the message truly came from the sender, and has not been tampered with. DKIM is intended to address some of the flaws in the existing email system, such as spoofing, phishing, and message tampering. 

Steps to Configure DKIM Record for Datamotion:

• Log in as the admin user to the SecureMail interface, then select Administrative tools > DKIM administration.
