Microsoft says they are moving away from UserVoice for feedback and says to use other forums like techcommunity.  So, I just wanted to see if there are any updates on this topic.  I would like to migrate my family email to O365 Family and Outlook.com and use my custom domain, but I'm afraid email from us will be rejected with out DKIM signatures.  Does anyone know if there are plans to implement this in the future?

There is/are no response(s) by Microsoft to the uservoice request links mentioned in my response.

Both links are dead ... as these parts of uservoice have been decomissioned.

 

The only (non) office365 uservoice link which is still active .. is in the outlook.com section ... which I created overtime in parallel

 

Below the subject and link which can (still) use some votes ...

Enable DKIM for Office 365 Home / Microsoft 365 Family mailboxes with a personalized email address

The Office 365 Home / Microsoft 365 Family subscription has a premium option which allows you to use your own email domain.
However, there is no option to enable the DKIM security measure in the premium interface for your own personalized email addresses / own email domain.
Without DKIM, outgoing email often ends up in the recipient's Spam folder, because the mail is not signed and authenticity can not be verified.

Can you enable the option to enable/configure DKIM in the outlook.com UI for Office 365 Home / Microsoft 365 Family subscribers?
(just like you enabled the personalized email addresses in the past with your partner GoDaddy)

At this moment DKIM is enabled as a security & brand protection measure for the default Microsoft domains outlook.com/hotmail.com/live.com.
The same functionality should become available for the personalized email domains hosted on the outlook.com infrastructure/platform.
Also, because the feature itself is already implemented and available in the Business edition, but requires the Admin panel which does not exist in the outlook.com UI.
