DKIM-Signature:. The selector is the value afters=, andd=is the domain.
Common selectors: google (Google Workspace), selector1 and selector2 (Microsoft 365), k1 (Mailchimp), s1 and s2 (SendGrid), fm1 (Fastmail).
Frequently asked questions
What DKIM key length should I use?
2048-bit RSA. 1024-bit still works but is weaker, and keys under 1024 bits can be broken. Some providers also support Ed25519.
What does an empty p= mean?
An empty p= tag means the key was revoked on purpose. Mail signed with that selector will fail DKIM.
