DKIM and DMARC set up on dedicate 1and1 server

I am having a little trouble figuring out this process. I can manage to get the DNS records set up for the DMARC, DKIM and SPF. I get lost with what i am trying to do with the private key for the DKIM. Currently i am using a dedicated server offered by 1and1.com. if someone can give me a quick walk through i would really appreciate it.

The website i am currently making sends out scheduled emails plus emails on behalf of users. Some of them are being blocked by Hotmail and other email providers. I understand that adding these protocols will increase the likelihood that the emails reach their intended targets. If there are any other mechanisms that can accomplish this as well, i would greatly appreciate a heads up.

i use the built in php mail method to send emails (i do not want to incorporate a third party plugin to do something that php already does and works pretty well)

thanks

You can't set up DMARC or DKIM on 1&1 DNS, they don't allow underscores (_) in sub-domains in their DNS records.

Sorry for the bad news. They are the only hosting provider I know about that doesn't allow underscores (unless something changed recently)

DMARC is easy to set up just use this DMARC Wizard

DKIM is something that you need to set up with email software program you're using to send mail (which you didn't tell us what you're using) - I'm guessing postfix or exim?

Yes, you can set DMARC on 1and1. Set:

Type:    txt
Prefix:  _dmarc
Value:   v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; rua=mailto:[email protected];     
         ruf=mailto:[email protected]; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400;

Change the 2 emails
