## Purpose
|
||||||
|
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) helps prevent email spoofing by
|
||||||
|
adding a digital signature to outgoing messages, allowing receiving
|
||||||
|
mail systems to verify that emails genuinely came from your domain and
|
||||||
|
weren't modified in transit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
