They just have a wildcard DNS entry, a lookup for _domainkey or foo or whatever would return the same A record: $ host '*.jeunes-sapeurs-pompiers.fr' *.jeunes-sapeurs-pompiers.fr has address 91.121.53.53 $ host '*.journeedelentrepreneur.fr' *.journeedelentrepreneur.fr has address 194.206.126.204 As far as DKIM/DK is concerned, there is no _domainkey TXT record. A presence of and A record does not mean anything special.
