Office 365 Home DKIM Configuration

Hi,   I have an Office 365 home account and have configured a personalised email address using GoDaddy. I have configured SPF on the GoDaddy Domain that appears to work. Is it possible to setup DKI...

Has anyone ever gotten through to a Microsoft employee "in the know" of this, so we can find a solution?

    Unfortunately Microsoft has discontinued de uservoice initiative.
    Therefor all votes on SimonRearhis request in the Office365 section and my other requests in the Security and Outlook.com section got lost, which is a real shame!

     

    All forms of feedback can now only be done through "Feedback Hub".
    Therefore I have (re-)created the (same) issue as a request in de Feedback Hub

    Enable DKIM for Office 365 Home / Microsoft 365 Family mailboxes with a personalized email address

    It can really use all the upvotes it can get.

     

    So to answer your question ...

    No solution from Microsoft .. not even an initial acknowledgement :-S

      EdwinVanEtten Well this is just wonderful and typical for Microsoft. You pay a subscription for premium features but the development is non existent and everything that goes into even mildly into "advanced user" territory will probably never make it into the product...not that you would get any word from any developer on this anyway, no matter how many upvotes your feedback gets. It goes straight to the trash bin usually. Sad but this is Microsoft, non-business customers are like 4th class customers.

       

      How nice to be able to use your own domain for Outlook.com only for all the mails to land in the spam folder because it doesn't support some insanely basic authentication features and there's no word on this at all. Nice.

        Stahlreck given the amount of money paid to GoDaddy and the automated configuration of DNS zone for the domain. Configuring, and maintaining the configuration of DKIM for DMARC would be incredibly simple (if the email platform supported it).  It need not be an advanced feature if automated!  The only time anyone would have an issue would be if they were attempting to send email traffic for the domain from non-MS servers. Personally I want to sign all email so that there is less chance of someone spoofing my domain (yes Microsoft, personal accounts need to be properly secured too)
