DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which impedes email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to every email message sent from an address under a specific domain name. The signature is generated based on a private cryptographic key that is available on the SMTP email server and it can be validated 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 email providers. This method will enhance your online security substantially and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail sent from a business associate, a banking institution, etc., is a genuine one. When you send messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be forged may either be marked as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s inbox, based on how the given provider has decided to cope with such emails.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting
In case you host a domain in a hosting account from us, all the compulsory records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be set up by default. This will happen as soon as you add the domain in the Hosted Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel, on the condition that it also uses our NS records. A private cryptographic key will be created on our mail servers, whereas a public key will be published to the Domain Name System automatically by using the TXT record. In this way, you won’t have to do anything manually and you will be able to make use of all the benefits of this validation system – your messages will be delivered to any audience without being denied and nobody will be able to send out email messages forging your addresses. The latter is really important in case the essence of your worldwide web presence suggests sending out periodic offers or newsletters via email to prospective and existing customers.
