DKIM with multiple mail systems
We are planning to set up DKIM for a mail domain, example.dk.
I can find a lot of good advice on the Internet. But there's one question I can't find an answer to.
We Use Exchange online for most of our mail, but we also have an on-premise SMTP server for routing mails from our webservers. And we are using a cloud service for our news letter service. How can DKIM be set up when there's multiple systems sending mail from our example.dk domain?
All the guides I have found on the Internet are about a setup with only one mail system.
Best regards Holger Nielsen

You can enable DKIM on onpremise.
It will not effect your O365 mail flow.
But you may have to install DKIM signing software in Exchange server and add a selector and publish in external DNS

But you may have to install DKIM signing software in Exchange server and add a selector and publish in external DNS
Note: Each system must have their own DKIM signing mechanism.
You must be very careful not to create a conflict, where you publish one DKIM selector DNS record with a signature, then sign your email messages using some other DKIM key.
Suggestion: The easy way to fix all this...
1) Setup one central SMTP relay, through which all mail flows.
2) #1 also has the side effect of boosting IP reputation of your sending IP(s), as using common IP(s) boosts sending volume on these IP(s).
3) Setup 587 authentication for submitting all email to send for #1.
4) Everywhere you send email, use #3 authentication to relay through #1.
This approach will likely save you a massive amount of maintenance time. Also, you can add any number of MTAs, anytime, anywhere, this all use #1 + work instantly, rather than setting up DKIM signing for each new MTA.
