DKIM

Abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail

In short and in plain language

DKIM is a method for email.

Outgoing mail gets a digital signature from the domain that sends it.

The person who gets the mail can then check if it was changed on the way.

This helps the emails of a business to arrive.
