DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an authentication system, which hinders email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding a digital signature to each email sent from an address under a given domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private encryption key that’s available on the outgoing SMTP server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any message with changed content or a spoofed sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This approach will strengthen your online security significantly and you’ll be sure that any e-mail message sent from a business ally, a banking institution, etc., is authentic. When you send email messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that turns out to be fraudulent may either be marked as such or may never end up in the recipient’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has decided to handle such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is pre-enabled for all domains that are hosted in a cloud hosting account on our cloud website hosting platform, so you won’t need to do anything yourself to turn it on. The sole requirement is that the particular domain should be hosted in a hosting account on our platform using our MX and NS records, so that the e-mail messages will go through our email servers. The private encryption key will be generated on the server and the TXT resource record, which includes the public key, will be published to the DNS system automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to activate this option. The DomainKeys Identified Mail validation system will permit you to send out trustable e-mails, so if you’re sending offers or a newsletter to clients, for instance, your emails will always reach their target audience, while unauthorized third parties will not be able to forge your email addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is included by default with any domain that is added to a semi-dedicated server account with our company. It should also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is actually the public cryptographic key that verifies if a given message is legitimate or not. This record is set up the moment a new domain is added to a semi-dedicated account via the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is created on our mail servers. If you use our web and email hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target readers and you won’t have to worry about unsolicited people spoofing your addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is something really important in case you use emails to reach your business associates.
