DKIM and DMARC set up on dedicate 1and1 server

I am having a little trouble figuring out this process. I can manage to get the DNS records set up for the DMARC, DKIM and SPF. I get lost with what i am trying to do with the private key for the DKIM. Currently i am using a dedicated server offered by 1and1.com. if someone can give me a quick walk through i would really appreciate it.

The website i am currently making sends out scheduled emails plus emails on behalf of users. Some of them are being blocked by Hotmail and other email providers. I understand that adding these protocols will increase the likelihood that the emails reach their intended targets. If there are any other mechanisms that can accomplish this as well, i would greatly appreciate a heads up.

i use the built in php mail method to send emails (i do not want to incorporate a third party plugin to do something that php already does and works pretty well)

thanks

Yes, you can set DMARC on 1and1. Set:

Type:    txt
Prefix:  _dmarc
Value:   v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; rua=mailto:[email protected];     
         ruf=mailto:[email protected]; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400;

Change the 2 emails
