Each domain added to OnePoundEmail is assigned a unique DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) key. To ensure proper email authentication and improve deliverability, you'll need to configure DKIM for each domain you use. Follow these steps to complete the process:

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Log in to the DirectAdmin Control Panel

Log in to the DirectAdmin control panel using your OnePoundEmail service credentials.

Step 2: Select Your Domain

In the top right drop-down menu, select the domain for which you want to manage DKIM settings.

Step 3: Navigate to the “Manage DNS” Page

Use the navigation menu or search bar to access the “Manage DNS” page.

Step 4: Locate the DKIM Key

Find the DKIM key in the DNS records. It will be listed as a TXT record that begins with v=DKIM1.

Step 5: Copy the DKIM Key

Copy the entire DKIM key, ensuring to exclude any quotation marks, especially if your DNS provider automatically generates them (as seen with providers like Cloudflare).

Step 6: Add the New TXT Record

Add the new TXT record in your DNS management provider:

• Type: TXT
• Host/Hostname/Name: x._domainkey (replace x with your specific identifier)
• Target: Paste the full DKIM key from Step 5

Important Note

Make sure to allow time for DNS propagation after making changes to ensure the new DKIM record is recognized.

By following these steps, you'll enhance the security of your email communications and help prevent your messages from being flagged as spam.
