DKIM records (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication feature that is used to prevent spam or email spoofing by verifying the sender of incoming emails.

Once sending an email with DKIM is enabled, the sending server adds a digital signature (also known as a header) to its emails. The DNS records of the sending domain now have a DKIM record, which is a modified TXT record containing a public key used by receiving email servers to verify a message's signature.
