Host Your DKIM Records at Agari

Allowing Agari to host your DKIM records means that when you make changes in DMARC Protection that affect any DMARC records, the records are updated quickly, securely, and automatically.

  1. Go to Diagnostics > Senders.
  2. Select a single domain.
  3. Click Monitor DKIM Keys.
    • If you are taken to the Manage Hosted DKIM Keys page, the DKIM keys for this domain are already hosted by Agari.
    • If you are taken to the DKIM Management page, the DKIM keys for this domain are not hosted by Agari.
  4. If you are on the DKIM Management page. review the DKIM key information for the domain. If there are no DKIM keys, you can click Add New Key for... to add a new DKIM key for the domain.
  5. Click I'm ready to start hosting.
  6. Review the DKIM information. For some selectors, you will have an option of selecting whether you want Agari to host the CNAME or the TXT record.
    • CNAME (default): Means the CNAME key is likely hosted by a third party, and any changes made to the DKIM key by the third party for the domain will be detected automatically by Agari.
    • TXT: Select this only if you want to always keep the DKIM key for the domain as-is. Any third-party changes to the DKIM key will not be detected automatically by Agari. (This is not common when the option to use a CNAME record is available, but is the default when no CNAME is available.)
  7. Click Start Hosting.

At this point, you will have to update the nameserver information (the NS records) at your domain host. The page you will see gives you the information you will need for the NS records.

NOTE: The apex / parent domain for our Hosted DKIM records has changed from agari.com to agari-dns.net. Existing DKIM records using agari.com will continue to work and can be updated to use the new domain.
Example: dns-00.hosted-dkim.agari.com is now dns-00.agari-dns.net

Once you update your DNS and the update is propagated, then on the Diagnose the DMARC status of your domains page (Diagnostics > Domains), you will see an "H" next to the symbol in the DKIM column (). Until you update your DNS, you will see a hosting pending symbol () in the DKIM column.
