About This Tool

DKIM Inspector analyzes the DKIM-Signature header in an email to verify that the signature was generated with a valid public key and that it covers the declared headers and body, as specified by RFC 6376. It is designed for security teams, system administrators, and developers who need to confirm that mail signing is correctly configured for a domain.
Conceptually, the tool parses the signing domain (d) and selector (s), identifies the list of headers included (h), and reads bh (body hash) to compare against the calculated body hash. It then retrieves the public key from DNS at s._domainkey.d and uses RSA verification against the canonicalized header and body to determine validity.
Unique value: it supports multiple signatures in a single message, reports per-signature results, surfaces common misconfigurations (wrong selector, missing DNS TXT, mismatched body hash), and provides guidance for remediation. Core features include header/body canonicalization, DNS key lookup, cryptographic verification, and structured result data for automation.
Use cases include email deliverability troubleshooting, security auditing, and automation pipelines for mailbox providers and security platforms; it enables developers to integrate DKIM checks into CI/CD, incident response, or monitoring workflows.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: enter the raw DKIM-Signature header or full email headers, the signing domain, and the selector.
  2. Configure options: choose canonicalization method (relaxed or simple) and hash algorithm (rsa-sha256 or rsa-sha
  3. .
  4. Run analysis: the tool parses the DKIM-Signature, fetches the DNS TXT record for the selector and domain, and verifies the signature against the canonicalized body.
  5. Review outputs: check validity result, signer domain, selector, algorithm, and any reported failures or warnings.
  6. Troubleshoot: if verification fails, verify DNS TXT accuracy, ensure the body hash bh matches the canonicalized body, and confirm the correct header order is preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is DKIM and why verify it?
DKIM provides cryptographic authentication for outbound emails by signing headers and the body. Verifying DKIM helps ensure messages originate from the claimed domain, maintain integrity during transit, and improve deliverability by aligning with DMARC requirements.
What inputs do I need to run DKIM inspection?
You need the raw email headers or full message, the signing domain, and the selector used for signing. Optional settings include canonicalization method and hash algorithm. The tool then retrieves the public key from DNS and performs signature verification.
What if the DNS key lookup fails?
A failed DNS lookup indicates the public key is unavailable. This yields a failed DKIM verification for that signature. Investigate DNS TXT records for the selector, domain, and potential DNS propagation issues or misconfigured DNS entries.
What does a failed DKIM check imply for deliverability?
A failed DKIM check can reduce trust and increase chances of mailbox filtering or rejection. It signals misconfigurations, DNS issues, or header/body mismatches that should be corrected to restore signing integrity and improve deliverability.
