How does it work? The recipient’s mailbox supplier checks if the non-public key of DKIM (meant for encoding solely) matches
the general public key of DKIM (meant for decoding solely).
DKIM additionally proves that e-mail attachments and e-mail recordsdata haven’t been modified because the signature was added.
Senders solely encode, e-mail shoppers solely decode.
Spammers can not encode!
