3223182 - Mandatory DKIM setup - SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208

Sending emails from your system does not work after SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208 release.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208

Setting up Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) is mandatory if you want to send emails from your system.

Securing your email using DKIM become mandatory with SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2208 release.

The purpose of this task is to apply the email security standard DKIM to emails sent by your SAP S/4HANA system. With that you can make sure messages aren't altered in transit between the sending and receiving email servers. It uses public-key cryptography to sign emails with a private key as it leaves a sending email server.

To enable DKIM on the sending email server hosted by SAP:

1. Create a request for DKIM activation to SAP.
2. Update your Domain Name Server (DNS) with information provided by SAP.
3. Finally close the request once the setup is in place and validated.

Afterwards, your business email is sent using DKIM.

To request the setup and activation of DKIM for your business emails sent by the SAP S/4HANA system, get in touch with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Operations:
