DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which obstructs email headers from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each and every message sent from an address under a certain domain. The signature is issued on the basis of a private key that is available on the outbound email server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. In this way, any message with modified content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by email providers. This technology will boost your web safety dramatically and you’ll be sure that any email message sent from a business associate, a banking institution, and so on, is authentic. When you send emails, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be bogus may either be flagged as such or may never reach the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to cope with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting
If you buy any of the hosting that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be enabled by default for any domain that you add to your web hosting account, so you will not have to create any records or to do anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS resource records (so that the email messages related to this domain name will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private key will be generated right away on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System. All email addresses created with this domain will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send out emails such as periodic newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will know that they are authentic, as the DKIM option makes it impossible for unauthorized people to spoof your email addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you select one of the semi-dedicated servers that we are offering, you will be able to use the DKIM option with any domain that you register through your brand-new semi-dedicated server account without any manual intervention, as our top-notch cloud platform will create all the mandatory records automatically, provided that the domain uses our name servers. The latter is needed for a TXT record to be set up for the domain, since this is how the public key can become available in the global DNS system. The private key will also be added automatically to our email servers, so whenever you send out a new message, it will carry our system’s e-signature. The number of junk email messages continues to grow every year and quite often phony addresses are used, but when you use our hosting services, you and your clients or partners won’t have to worry about that.
