This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Echoworx and how they are managed in Valimail. While only one of the two authentication methods is required for an email to pass DMARC, our recommendation is to configure both whenever possible.

Activating or integrating DKIM with an existing email infrastructure should be a simple and painless process. With Echoworx, DKIM can be turned on or off at the click of a button for messages sent from the gateway or portal. With three settings for DKIM, Echoworx allows organizations to configure headers to scope for DKIM, strip DKIM signatures or add DKIM signature headers for outgoing messages to domains which support them.

Public keys, used for DKIM signatures, can be easily generated within the Echoworx platform. These keys can be used for organizations who demand them. All DKIM keys may be created, managed or deleted directly in the platform without any complicated steps. Entire DNS entries may be exported as a text file which may then be uploaded into a designated DNS zone or may be copied and pasted directly into a domain management console.

NOTE: If you manage you domain in Valimail, you will need to add the DKIM key on your domain's configuration page in the Valimail platform.
