Mail from Namecheap Private Email carries a DKIM-Signature header with s=privateemail (or another selector the provider shows for your domain). Receivers fetch the public key from privateemail._domainkey on your domain to check it.

If the record is a CNAME, the provider hosts the key and can rotate it for you; keep the CNAME exactly as given.
