# How to Set Up and Test Domain Keys

To generate your domain keys, use the wizard on the SocketLabs website: [Domain Key / DKIM Generation Wizard](https://tools.socketlabs.com/dkim/generator)

This process will generate Domain Keys for you and provide instructions on how to add them to Hurricane Server and your DNS server. Once complete, you can send mail to the autoresponder at sa-test@sendmail.net to verify your keys. Please keep in mind that the From address of the message must use the same domain for which you have set up the keys.

Once you are finished testing you can remove the test flag ("t=y;") from your policy record. Do not change it to "t=n;", just remove the "t=y;" so your policy record will be "o=-;" or "o=~;".
