Create 2 CNAME records for a custom domain in DNS
- You need to add 2 CNAME entries for any domain you want to add DKIM signing for.
- Use the following CNAME records:
- Hostname: selector1._domainkey
Points to address or value: selector1-<domainGUID>._domainkey.<initialDomain>
TTL: 3600
Hostname: selector2._domainkey
Points to address or value: selector2-<domainGUID>._domainkey.<initialDomain>
TTL: 3600
- Hostname: selector1._domainkey
- In the example above:
- For Microsoft 365, the selectors will always be "selector1" or "selector2".
- domainGUID is the same as the domainGUID in the customized MX record for your custom domain that appears before mail.protection.outlook.com. For example, in the following MX record for the domain goingipo.com, the domainGUIDis goingipo-com:
goingipo.com. 3600 IN MX 5 goingipo-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
- initialDomain is the domain that you used when you signed up for Microsoft 365.
- For example, if you have an initial domain of goingipo.onmicrosoft.com, and a custom domain goingipo.com, you would need to set up two CNAME records for the additional domain:
Hostname: selector1._domainkey
Points to address or value: selector1-goingipo-com._domainkey.goingipo.onmicrosoft.com
TTL: 3600
Hostname: selector2._domainkey
Points to address or value: selector2-goingipo-com._domainkey.goingipo.onmicrosoft.com
TTL: 3600
