DKIM setup

Morning all. I am working on DMARC authentication for a few of our domains and want to make sure that I am not changing HOW that domain marketing manager sends emails from that domain. All I want to get out of this is the domain specific DKIM keys so I can update our DNS server with that information in order to 100% comply with DMARC.

I went through instructions found elsewhere and am at the point now where I can “Connect an email-sending domain”. It has me “type in one of the email addresses that you use to send marketing emails” so I type in my email since I am a part of that domain. After clicking next, it then says “Your emails will be send out from:” the email I provided. This sent red flags up as I do NOT want marketing emails to come from my email.

I might be overthinking this, as I JUST want to get DKIM keys for each of our connected domains.

Any assistance would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi @TW1,

Thanks for reaching out!

I wanted to refer you to this resource about managing email authentication in HubSpot.

If you have any questions during the setup process, I would recommend connecting with HubSpot Technical Support, as Support is included in your subscription. They will be able to provide real-time assistance for this matter, where you are able to share screenshots and further information about this.

Best,

Kristen

Hi @PLizak,

Thank you for catching that! It looks like this content has been archived so I’ve updated my reply with a new resource. Please feel free to create a post in the Community if you have any questions regarding DMARC or DKIM :slightly_smiling_face:

Your personal email won’t be used for sending marketing emails. That step is only to verify domain ownership so the system can generate the correct DKIM keys.

Once verified, you’ll receive the DNS TXT record that needs to be published for your domain. Adding this record enables DKIM signing at the domain level, ensuring your messages align with DMARC policy. This process won’t change how your marketing team sends campaigns; it simply provides domain-specific authentication keys for stronger email deliverability and compliance.

Would recommend this resource on DMARC Implementation.
