What does DKIM do?

It adds a signature to each message your domain sends. A mail server checks the signature against a key published in your DNS, so a message changed or forged on the way fails.

Where does Zoho Mail make the key?

In the Zoho Mail Admin Console, go to Domains and choose your domain. In the Email Configuration tab, select DKIM, then Add. Name the selector zoho, choose a key length of 1024 or 2048 bits, and select Add. Zoho shows the TXT record value for the selector. Copy it. Do not select Verify yet.

How do I turn signing on?

Go back to DKIM in the Email Configuration tab and select Verify beside your selector. Once it is verified, Zoho offers to enable DKIM now or later: enable it. If the check fails, wait for your DNS change to be seen and try again.
