DKIM Record Checker

The DKIM selector is specified in the DKIM-Signature header and indicates where the public key portion of the DKIM keypair exists in DNS.

With the DKIM Inspector you can check if the public part of your DKIM signature—using the selector—has been implemented correctly in the DNS of your domain.

Why look up your DKIM record?

  • Is there any public DKIM key present?
  • If present, is the DKIM syntax correctly implemented?

Our tools are under maintenance. Please try again later.
