DKIM rotation without delivery impact

Published Apr 28, 2024 • Updated May 1, 2026

Overview

Rotate DKIM keys periodically—overlap selectors to avoid signing gaps.

Method

Publish new selector with key; verify pass in DMARC reports; swap default sending preference; retire old after 7 days healthy traffic.

Pitfalls

Deleting old DNS TXT while messages still queued at old MTA—coordinate TTL.

Document

Runbook screenshot of DNS diff stored per client.

Automation

Calendar reminder 2× yearly unless vendor mandates faster.
