This how-to is created by the Dutch Internet Standards Platform (the organization behind [internet.nl](https://internet.nl)) and is meant to provide practical information and guidance on explicitly configuring a parked domain not to use e-mail.
[Domain parking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_parking) is the registration of an Internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website.
If the domain itself does not receive email (such as when the domain has been configured with NULL MX), then the RUA and RUF must point to another domain that does receive emails, such as:
When using a wildcard selector to set an empty public key, you indicate that all previously used keys are revoked and must be considered unreliable. You can also use this to explicitly signal that a domain is not configured to use e-mail. However, [according to the RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6376#section-6.1.2) the absence of a selector / public key (e.g. as a result of deleting the entire DKIM resource record) is semantically equal to a resource record with an empty public key. This means that both approaches should be treated similar by the receiving mail server.
* Don't redirect from a parked domain to the used domain, since this encourages users to keep using the parked domain name. If a redirect is desirable, make sure to use the proper redirect order in order for HSTS headers to remain effective:
