This plugin adds a DKIM header to emails sent by phplist. It simply passes-on the settings fields to phpmailer, which does the actual generation of the DKIM header. If your mail server already adds a DKIM header to outgoing mail then you do not need to use this plugin.

You need to create a DKIM private/public key pair, then create a DNS TXT record holding the public key.

You can usually do this using the control panel of your web server. Otherwise you can use this DKIM record generator https://easydmarc.com/tools/dkim-record-generator

Install on the Plugins page (menu Config > Manage Plugins) using the package URL

https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-dkim/archive/master.zip

The plugin adds a section to the Settings page where you can enter

• the DKIM domain
• the DKIM selector
• the DKIM identity (optional)
• the private key
• the path to a file containing the private key
• the passphrase for the private key file (optional)
• whether to include the field values in the DKIM header.

You must enter either the private key or the path to a file containing the private key. The private key field takes precedence over the private key path.

For example, if the name of your DKIM record is default._domainkey.mydomain.com then

• the domain is mydomain.com
• the selector is default
• the private key is the text of the private key. Copy and paste that from the generated private key, including the BEGIN and END lines
