Configure the DKIM selector, SPF, DMARC, bounce address, from address, and reply-to address of emails sent by WordPress through the default PHPMailer.<\/p>\n\n<p>Configuring these email settings allows you to prevent attackers from spoofing emails from your domain and helps keep your emails out of the spam folder.<\/p>\n\n<h4>DKIM Selector<\/h4>\n\n<p>Create, upload, download, and delete private and public keys for use with DKIM with an intuitive interface.
