DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which blocks email headers from being forged and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching an electronic signature to each and every email sent from an address under a particular domain name. The signature is published based on a private encryption key that is available on the SMTP email server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with altered content or a forged sender can be identified by email service providers. This technology will boost your online safety markedly and you’ll be sure that any message sent from a business partner, a banking institution, etc., is a legitimate one. When you send email messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be fake may either be flagged as such or may never appear in the recipient’s inbox, based on how the particular provider has decided to handle such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Website Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is pre-enabled for all domain names that are hosted in a website hosting account on our cloud hosting platform, so you won’t need to do anything on your end to enable it. The only requirement is that the particular domain name should be hosted in a website 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 key will be generated on the server and the TXT record, which contains the public key, will be published to the global DNS system automatically, so you won’t have to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this option. The DKIM email authentication system will enable you to send out credible e-mails, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to customers, for instance, your email messages will always reach their target destination, while unauthorized 3rd parties will not be able to spoof your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is offered by default with any domain name that’s registered through a semi-dedicated server account with our company. It must also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are managed by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is in fact the public cryptographic key that verifies if a particular email message is legitimate or not. Such a record is set up once a brand-new domain name is registered in a semi-dedicated account through the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is generated on our mail servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your emails will always reach their target audience and you won’t need to worry about unauthorized persons using your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something quite important if you use email messages to communicate with your business collaborators.
