DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which impedes email headers from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by attaching an electronic signature to each email sent from an address under a given domain name. The signature is published on the basis of a private key that is available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be verified by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any message with modified content or a forged sender can be identified by email service providers. This method will increase your web safety considerably and you will know for sure that any email message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, etc., is legitimate. When you send out emails, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be bogus may either be labeled as such or may never be delivered to the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the given provider has decided to deal with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting
In case you host a domain in a cloud hosting account from us, all the necessary records for using the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be set up by default. This will happen as soon as you add the domain in the Control Panel’s Hosted Domains section, as long as it also uses our NS records. A private cryptographic key will be created on our mail servers, whereas a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System automatically using the TXT resource record. In this way, you will not need to do anything manually and you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of this authentication system – your emails will be delivered to any audience without being rejected and no one will be able to send messages forging your e-mail addresses. The latter is very important in case the type of your web presence suggests sending out regular offers or newsletters via email to prospective and current customers.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option is included by default with any domain name that is registered through a semi-dedicated server account with us. The domain 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 record to be set up, which is in fact the public key that confirms if a certain email message is genuine or not. This record is set up once a domain is registered in an account through the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is generated on our email servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your emails will always reach their target viewers and you won’t have to worry about unauthorized persons forging your email addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something rather important if you use email messages to contact your business associates.
