DKIM

The DNS record that signs outgoing email on behalf of your domain.

DKIM adds a signature to your email using your domain's private key. The receiving server checks that signature against the public key in DNS and sees that the email was not altered in transit and really did come from your domain. Without SPF and DMARC alongside it, the chance of landing in the spam folder rises noticeably.
