What it is

DKIM cryptographically signs your mail so receivers can verify it was not altered and really came from your domain. Survives forwarding.

How to fix it

Enable DKIM signing with a >=2048-bit key (SHA-256) and publish the public key at selector._domainkey.yourdomain.

This is a hard-fail gate. If it fails, Gmail / Yahoo / Outlook may junk or reject your mail regardless of everything else — so fix it first.
