DKIM for a bakery

10 Sep 2025

How a bakery deals with DKIM — and what usually goes wrong.

The problem: a registrar login nobody wrote down. The DKIM check fails for a bakery.

We check DKIM for a bakery once a quarter. It takes five minutes and has caught two problems in the past year. Both would have caused downtime within a week.

If the hours on Google disagree with the site, people trust Google and then arrive angry. DKIM will not fix that. The hours page will.

The vendor promised a bakery that DKIM was handled. We verified: it was not. Trust but verify has saved more uptime than any product we have used.

You do not need a status page if you have never gone down. a bakery is on month fourteen of zero downtime, and the secret is boring: correct DKIM and a host that does not oversell.

The best DKIM setup is the one nobody has to think about. For a bakery, that means auto-renew, auto-redirect, and a monitoring ping every four hours.
