DKIM<\/b> stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail<\/b>. It is a DNS record of CNAME type<\/a><\/b> (default Hostinger Email DKIM records) 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<\/b> of your recipients.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

If you use Hostinger Email<\/a> <\/b>with your domain<\/b>, the default DKIM records are the following:<\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
